Bug Description

I'm using:
LSB Version: core-2.0-amd64:core-2.0-noarch:core-3.0-amd64:core-3.0-noarch:core-3.1-amd64:core-3.1-noarch:core-3.2-amd64:core-3.2-noarch:core-4.0-amd64:core-4.0-noarch:core-4.1-amd64:core-4.1-noarch:security-4.0-amd64:security-4.0-noarch:security-4.1-amd64:security-4.1-noarch
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS
Release: 14.04
Codename: trusty
Linux hugo-P35-DS3L 3.13.0-74-lowlatency #118-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT Thu Dec 17 23:46:00 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I'm having a serious problem: tracker entire disk space is swallowed .cache!

I need to stop!, permanently tracker is written to my ssd and nobody knows to stop this miserable program!
Apparently the application responsible for keeping tracker working is zeitgeist-daemon. How to stop it permanently. I do not need this data base.
With tracker or zeitsgeist-daemon running all programs have trouble using cache

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.
