Do you use tracker? Can you give examples of how you've used it and if you find it useful? Is there a useful guide to exploiting tracker? ==== background / war story I've been oblivious to tracker. I must have had it for some time, but it hasn't crashed so it didn't come to my attention. It has come to my attention now because it has filled my home partition. It was taking almost half a gigabyte. Anxious to throw stuff overboard from my 0-bytes-free /home, I deleted the Firefox cache (politely via Firecox Edit: Preferences: Advanced: Network: Cached Web Content: Clear Now). That dealt with the second largest space-hog (after tracker). I then tried to find a way to get useful information out of tracker. It meant installing a bunch of packages that seemed to be tracker-related. I then ran Desktop Search. I couldn't get it to find anything useful. It couldn't even do what locate could do. Oh, and the ~.cache/tracker directory shrank a lot while I was doing this. To the point that it isn't a problem (22 megabytes). Could it be that it was tracking the Firefox cache and when I got rid of that, the index shrank? (I used fedup to upgrade from Feora 18 to 19 overnight. It was after this that I had a full /home (it wasn't full when I first booted after the upgrade, but it was down to a quarter gigabyte of free space). I wonder if this is related.) -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
