Binary package hint: tracker
I've already raised this at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=578159, but I'm also raising it here to keep it on the radar, as it has the potential to hurt a lot of users upgrading from Intrepid where tracker is still installed by default.
Tracker will begin indexing when removable media is inserted, despite being explicitly disabled in the preferences (and it is disabled by default in Ubuntu anyway). It doesn't just index the removable device, but all of the users watch directories (by default, the users entire home directory). When doing this, the tracker-applet doesn't appear like it normally should when indexing, and the usual notifications warning the user that indexing is beginning do not appear either. The performance hit of this for many users could be quite severe whilst the indexing is happening, and the user will be left wondering why this is so. |

***TEST CASE FOR SRU***
* With the current version of Tracker (0.6.93-0ubuntu1):
1) Disable indexing in System -> Preferences -> Search and Indexing
2) Insert removable media (eg, USB drive)
3) After a minute or so, note that trackerd and tracker-processes are consuming some CPU cycles.
4) For further verification, monitor the output of "dbus-monitor --session". A short while after inserting the removable drive, you will see some org.freedesktop.Tracker.IndexStateChange signals on the bus
* With the updated version of Tracker (0.6.93-0ubuntu2):
1) Disable indexing in System -> Preferences -> Search and Indexing
2) Insert removable media (eg, USB drive)
3) Note that trackerd and tracker-processes use no significant CPU cycles.
4) Monitoring the session bus with "dbus-monitor --session" should show no org.freedesktop.Tracker.IndexStateChange signals on the bus. |
