Package: tracker-extract
Version: 2.1.6-1
Followup-For: Bug #853827
This happens to me as well, and it fills up my /var partition with endless
syslog errors from repeatedly trying to index .ogg files. My /var/log/messages
is full of lines like:
Aug 6 00:33:50 magus tracker-extract[27409]: Could not insert metadata for
item
"file:///home/mike/Music/CD%20Rips/Katamari%20Fortissimo%20Damacy/Katamari%20Fortissimo%20Damacy%20-%2006%20-%20Lonely%20Rolling%20Star.ogg":
Subject `urn:uuid:9b074666-3f45-0909-ecb8-df6ace3a4f83' is not in domain
`nie:DataObject' of property `nie:dataSource'
Aug 6 00:33:50 magus tracker-extract[27409]: If the error above is recurrent
for the same item/ID, consider running "tracker-extract" in the terminal with
the TRACKER_VERBOSITY=3 environment variable, and filing a bug with the
additional information
...over and over for different files. If I "tail -f" the log, I see screenfuls
of these messages go by very quickly, then it pauses for a few seconds, then
more screenfuls of the same messages. The periods of log activity match the
"extracting metadata" activity shown by running "tracker daemon -f".
Running "TRACKER_VERBOSITY=3 tracker extract" on the file identified in the
message above, it shows:

I don't see any mention of the offending UUID from the error message.
These messages fill my /var partition within a day due to growth of
/var/log/messages, /var/log/syslog, and /var/log/user.log, which I think
qualifies as severity: critical.
Is there a way to disable this Tracker thing? It seems to automatically and
silently (well, except the logspam) try to index all my files, which I neither
need nor want. Disabling the "Files" toggle in the "Search" section of GNOME
Settings did not stop it. Neither did disabling GNOME's search entirely.
