Tracker Indexing

Hi:

try stoping the demon, and turning back on, it worked for me. Something similar happend when I added new directories at first it did not start doing anything. the demon was in idle.
but after restarting it it has worked perfectly.
you can check its progress with
tail -f ~/.local/share/tracker/tracker.log

Thanks a lot for your answer.

However i have two further questions:

1- How can I stop and restart the daemon, without ending the trackerd progress?

2- I tried tail -f .local/share/tracker/tracker.log, I received:
11 Oct 2007, 13:31:54:518 - ERROR: whilst scanning summary file

The same message is given is I do less .local/share/tracker/tracker.log

Is this expected?

Thanks.

After some search on the web, I understood that how to stop and start the daemon.

I run the following sequence:
a-
$start-stop-daemon --stop -v --name trackerd
Stopped trackerd (pid 5760).

b-
$ start-stop-daemon --start -v --exec /usr/bin/trackerd
Starting /usr/bin/trackerd...

Then after a while, I stopped the process by ctrl+x.

Can someone explain me the problem?

Thanks.

Hi

I'm interested in this problem as well. On my laptop tracker doesn't index files unless I stop the daemon and then restart it with "trackerd -R &" every time I turn it on. If I don't do this it will index only the files created in the current session. Here is the output from tail -f ~/.local/share/tracker/tracker.log:

$ tail -f ~/.local/share/tracker/tracker.log

If you need other information please ask.

Hi,

I have re-installed all tracker related packages. It started the indexing process from zero. Now every thing is working. Indexing is very efficient.

Thanks.
