Index corrupted in Tracker 0.6.93 after reinstaling to Ubuntu 9.04
Last modified: 2010-05-17 13:29:57 UTC
Please describe the problem: I have updated Ubuntu 8.10 to Ubuntu 9.04, but Tracker 0.6.93 started to view this message: Tracker Applet. Tracker. The was an error while performing indexing: Index corrupted. Reindex all content / Cancel / OK Steps to reproduce: 1. the Tracker does not search 2. the Tracker does not index 3. there are not indexed words in Statistics (because I seleced the option Reindex all) Actual results: The message is displaying few times. Expected results: see above Does this happen every time? yes Other information:
I too get this bug. It happens since I upgraded to jaunty. It happens every time I run my PC. I get the same error message as described. If I click Ok or cancel to the dialog box "Reindex all content / Cancel / OK", the dialog box just comes back almost instantly. If I click "Reindex all content", it goes away for about 30 minutes and then returns. I have to manaully pause indexing to make it disappear permanently.
This can be caused because a file in your filesystem is making the indexer crash. Could you please set verbosity to "3" (using ~/.config/tracker/tracker.cfg or starting the daemon with -v 3) and check the last lines in ~/.local/share/tracker/tracker-indexer.log once you get the error? That could help us to discover what is the problem.
I have solved this problem like this: $sudo apt-get install tracker-utils $tracker-processes -r This works, but it reindexes everything. My tracker-indexer.log file is empty now. The verbosity in the tracker.cfg file is set to Verbosity=0 in my computer now.
$tracker-processes -r remove all tracker dbs, so it is ok to reindex everything Verbosity=0 means "dont log anything unless it is really serious". So, if it finished fine after cleaning the DBs. Maybe distribution maintainers should remove the old indexes and force a reindex on install/upgrade... Closing as FIXED: this should be fixed in 0.6.95
Created attachment 134968 [details] verbose=3 tracker-index.log log file Please can you not close this bug yet. I still get the error every time, and I've clicked "Reindex all contents" many times. I've set the verbose=3 option and captured the last 200 lines of my log file. The file is attached. If you want me to clone this bug report and file it under a new one the let me know. Thanks for your investigations so far. Mike F.
Created attachment 134977 [details] log file again, but with more lines leading up to the error messages I've decide to include more detail in the log file. This shows the lines immediately before the error message lines. If you want me to attach any particular file from my file system let me know. Mike F
Moving "Indexer" component bugs to "General" since "Indexer" refers to the old 0.6 architecture
