So... I just did a fresh install of F27, and I can't seem to find tracker-preferences, so I can disable the annoying document indexer that keeps crawling my drives. Anybody have any insight into why this is missing from F27, or a workaround to effectively disable the thing?

/org/freedesktop/tracker/miner/files/crawling-interval is set here to "-2" (disabled) plus: /org/freedesktop/tracker/miner/files/enable-monitors here set to "false"

Anybody have any insight into why this is missing from F27, or a workaround to effectively disable the thing? Then I'm not the only one to find annoying tracker ... useful like a bee into helmet. as it is not possible to remove it, I disable tracker globally for all users: $ sudo dnf remove tracker-miners $ sudo sed -i 's/X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=.*/X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false/' /etc/xdg/autostart/tracker-store.desktop $ yes|LANG=C tracker reset --hard Note: when tracker will be update, the /etc/xdg/autostart/tracker-store.desktop file it will not replaced and the new desktop file will be renamed with .rpmnew extension Hope this help
