I do not understand the persistance of KDE team (or is it SuSE) for these trackers that make the vendilation of my laptop go crazy.

I seem to have found a solution:

sudo mv /usr/lib/tracker-extract /usr/lib/tracker-extract.BLOCK

then kill the process and your laptop runs quitly.

I wonder if there are problems to be expected in the future with this (brutal but very satisfying https://forums.opensuse.org/images/icons/icon11.png) solution

P.S. I tried through the “configure desktop” but I was simply ignored https://forums.opensuse.org/images/icons/icon9.png

I’m pretty sure that they are installed as part of Gnome (not KDE), though they are set to start in any desktop.

I believe you are correct. I do not have Gnome installed, and that file does not exist. (KDE installation)

Not really. It is “desktop-neutral”, but part of gnome.

:slight_smile:

Yes, that is included by gnome. But the part about being
“desktop-neutral” is… peculiar. KDE also has a search tool (sorry, I
forgot the name), which can not be used by gnome. The idea of the
tracker people was that KDE and others would use it, but instead, KDE
designed their own tool. Apparently, I don’t know the whys and details.

And neither tool is the first one. We have seen a few being born and die
in the last decade.

Zeitgeist, IIRC.

I use Recoll in my KDE. Great, lightweight, fast, and fully under my control.

I think zeitgeist also comes with Gnome.

I think it’s “baloo” for KDE. At least, that’s the one people have complained about. I turn it off.

10

Seconded! Recoll is a truly excellent piece of software written to fulfill a “real-world” need.

Yes, that name rings a bell here. Zeitgeist might have been a previous
one, the bell ringing is weaker :wink:

Oh, it is a different thing:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeitgeist_(free_software)

+++—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-
In free software, Zeitgeist is a software service which logs the users’s
activities and events, anywhere from files opened to websites visited
and conversations. It makes this information readily available for other
applications to use in the form of timelines and statistics. It is able
to establish relationships between items based on similarity and usage
patterns by applying data association algorithms such as “Winepi” and
“Apriori”

Zeitgeist is the main engine and logic behind GNOME Activity Journal
which is currently seen to become one of the main means of viewing and
managing activities in GNOME version 3.0.[1][2]

KDE is currenlty Baloo. Previously it was nepomuk.
Nepomuk was a dog (IMO) and I always disabled it . . . but Baloo seems to work very well - don’t even notice it running in the background doing its thing.
