recently systemd-coredump has been constantly using 100% cpu.
I’m not sure how long this has been going on but certainly for the last several days at least.
The usage appears to be constant and never falls below 100% cpu usage.
coredumpctl list shows hundreds of lines of the following . . .
coredumpctl list
TIME PID UID GID SIG PRESENT EXE
Sat 2017-09-09 20:36:56 NZST 3541 1000 100 31 * /usr/lib/tracker-extract
Tracker is segfaulting and causing it to coredump. Bug in tracker or perhaps its database is corrupted - you are definitely not alone, we’ve had a few people with the same issue come to IRC.
Uninstall tracker or disable coredumps? ( ln -s /dev/null /etc/sysctl.d/50-coredump.conf disables coredumps, or at least should )
I don’t use Gnome either but got Tracker as part of a default 42.3 / Plasma 5.8.x install.
I guess I don’t really need tracker if it is part of gnome then?

thanks.
I’ve tried running
Code:
ln -s /dev/null /etc/sysctl.d/50-coredump.conf
but systemd-coredump is still hogging the cpu after reboot.
Hi
So check them out to confirm what it is…
coredumpctl list

You can uninstall Tracker and taboo it. I do that in Xfce, though Gnome and its apps seem to want to require it, I have run into no problems by removing and blocking it.
Found a solution, when typing tracker in the search applications, brings up Indexing Preferences, change the field “Limitations” to “Only when computer is not being used” restart Tracker process and CPUs are now under 5% after being locked at 100%, my guess is that the processes will run wild, if variables not initialized properly.
I am using opensuse LEAP version keeping it updated for about a year now.
This issue started for me out of the blue on my primary laptop. Suddenly fans were running full speed. CPU on 2/4 cores were 100%. Looking at the logs attached here. There is a combination of a file and tracker plugin that caused this crash and kept on crashing it
I had just unzipped a downloaded folder from nextcloud. I deleted the mpp file and the fans died down in 5 seconds and utilization went to normal. So i unzipped thie file again. And the tracker started core dumping agian.
So I am able to repeat the issue by creating an errant file and resolve it by removing it.
So possible tracker bug ? Tracker plugin bug ?

Hi, I guess that tracker first time index the whole content into home folder including compressed ones, it takes a lot time to end but when is done, cpu down to normal.
