So... I just did a fresh install of F27, and I can't seem to find tracker-preferences, so I can disable the annoying document indexer that keeps crawling my drives. Anybody have any insight into why this is missing from F27, or a workaround to effectively disable the thing?

Then I'm not the only one to find annoying tracker ... useful like a bee into helmet.

as it is not possible to remove it, I disable tracker globally for all users:

$ sudo dnf remove tracker-miners

$ sudo sed -i 's/X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=.*/X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false/' /etc/xdg/autostart/tracker-store.desktop

$ yes|LANG=C tracker reset --hard

Note: when tracker will be update, the /etc/xdg/autostart/tracker-store.desktop file it will not replaced and the new desktop file will be renamed with .rpmnew extension

Hope this help


FWIW, I also found there's new menu options for search in the GNOME settings, where I can control some of its behavior... but not all the old options are there... and it's not quite clear how the new options relate to the old ones. It's nice that gsettings can control all the options... but it is in no way a substitute for a good GUI.
