Description Joe Bylund 2013-07-26 18:08:57 UTC 
The first time I started up gnome-photos I got the following:

** (gnome-photos:9001): WARNING **: Unable to connect to the Tracker database: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process /usr/local/libexec/tracker-store exited with status 127

(gnome-photos:9001): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid (NULL) pointer instance

(gnome-photos:9001): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_signal_connect_data: assertion 'G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed
Segmentation fault

To investigate I tried "/usr/local/libexec/tracker-store &" then gnome-photos, and it seems to have started smoothly.

Using aptosid, up to date from their repos, plus some gnome packages are even more recent using either git or tarballs from gnome.org.

This is not "major" because tracker-store not running is indicative of a broken system. However we should still fix this.
