Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2017-07-26 00:09:30 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '24'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 2 Debarshi Ray 2017-07-27 16:04:15 UTC
This bug report is not actionable unless you attach a backtrace from one of those core dumps.

Comment 3 udo 2017-07-27 16:12:14 UTC
Ah, thanks for a response after all this time.
How to actionably obtain a backtrace as one cannot predict under what circumsatnces a coredump will happen?

Also the tracker stuff runs when I do not want it to run.
The tracker stuff is also of the unremovable kind:

# rpm -qa|grep ^tracker|xargs rpm -e
error: Failed dependencies:
	tracker3-miners is needed by (installed) nautilus-3.38.2-1.fc33.x86_64

What /fake/ dependency is that? Please fix that and allow us choice.
It's crashing, so it doesn't work.
We must endure disk space consumption, CPU usage, I/O consumption as we cannot stop it from running.
I disabled them services. No change.
So I had to remove the dbus service files?

Or what decent way of either configuring or removing tracker is there?

Comment 14 udo 2021-03-02 14:28:24 UTC
To fix the crashing:
Why not handle the error somewhat in tracker itself?
At least log the filename involved that makes it crash.... (!)

Comment 15 udo 2021-09-20 21:08:21 UTC
Can we please get rid of the fake dependency so we can chose to not have this on our systems?

Comment 16 udo 2021-09-20 21:10:10 UTC
And check bugzilla before we even release an 'update'?
Because the 'update' did fix nothign since 2017.

Fedora Linux 34 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2022-06-07.

Fedora Linux 34 is no longer maintained, which means that it
will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we
are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
