Bug Description
Binary package hint: tracker
System:
Lenovo IBM Thinkpad r60e
1.7GHz Intel Core Duo
1024MB DDR
Intel 945GM w/ 950GMA
Intel ProWireless 3945
Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon (as of 06/08/07 updates)
Problem:
From the moment the GDM screen appears after boot trackerd starts to devour system resources bringing keystrokes, mouse movements and X refreshes to an almost complete standstill.
Switching out a virtual terminal allows me to login and run 'top'. Revealing that trackerd is taking from 40% - 90% CPU and fairly consistently taking ~85% of available memory. Killing the app is fruitless as it appears to be persistent.
Temporary Solution:
I have uninstalled tracker for now.

Did you try setting a throttle in tracker- preferences?
