2022-02-20 22:41:02 ExploreWiki description 1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu - 21.10 2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center tracker-miner-fs: Installed: 3.1.3-1 Candidate: 3.1.3-1 Version table: *** 3.1.3-1 500 500 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu impish/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3) What you expected to happen - Ubuntu indexes the files in the background at a very low priority. 4) What happened instead - Ubuntu grinds to a halt and the CPU usage is off the chart right after I boot up when search indexing is enabled. When checking the "System Monitor" it is always "tracker-miner-fs-3" consuming all of the resources. I have been having problems with tracker-miner since 20.04 LTS and so I upgraded to 21.10 and I'm still having problems with search indexing bringing my system to its knees and making Ubuntu clunky and unusable. I have attached a photo of my system specifications. The fix for me was to completely disable search indexing: Settings > Search > Turn Off Search Indexing. After doing this, my system is running perfectly again with low CPU usage! 1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu - 21.10 2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center tracker-miner-fs:   Installed: 3.1.3-1   Candidate: 3.1.3-1   Version table:  *** 3.1.3-1 500         500 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu impish/main amd64 Packages         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3) What you expected to happen - Ubuntu indexes the files in the background at a very low priority. 4) What happened instead - Ubuntu grinds to a halt and the CPU usage is off the chart right after I boot up when search indexing is enabled.
