Edit each copied tracker desktop file: change: X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true to X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false 3. Open System Settings -> Startup and Shutdown (-> Autostart) 4. Unckeck all tracker Desktop Files Now the tracker is diabled, it will not be started. Hope this helps for the time being.
