extremely hight tracker-miner cpu usage

Sebastian

Recently I have issues with extremely high tracker-miner cpu usage. Like over 90% cpu. Often directly after running program like calendar or contacts or whatever.
I suspect last update to be responsable. Though after last update I also installed geary and gnome photos.
After rollback to before last update, things seem to be better. Wanted also to reinstall geary/ gnome photos to check whether they are resonsable. But I cant install them without performing the update.

Sebastian I went through a period of that then it stop came to the conclusion
it was something I was doing but dont know what it was.

Axios Identical for me. PITA then after a week or so, gone. Unlike you, I couldn't point the finger at myself (didn't feel like I used identical apps and did the same things everyday).

I have a typically weird theory: maybe some indexers have to teach themselves to index efficiently, if that makes any sense in an AI way...
2nd weird theory I had: an update corrected it's throttling behavior

I think tracker-miner-fs is a Gnome filesystem indexer, if that helps. I think you can disable it somehow and it won't have an impact apart from making Nautilus/Gnome Files searches slower or something.

There are updates to tracker 3.4.2 and tracker-miners 3.4.2. They deal with memory leaks and other bugs. Hopefully some of that can fix your issues.

its fairly easy to permanently disable tracker, if you dont want it. its always the first thing i do whenver i install gnome
