Please ignore my earlier comment. This does still occur, I just didn't see it has I had inadvertently set apport to automatically report so there was no pop-up. After boot, tracker seems to run normally, at least initially:
merlin@Minmus:~$ tracker status Currently indexed: 26384 files, 2120 folders Remaining space on database partition: 735.6 GB (83.31%) Data is still being indexed: Estimated 02m 44s left After the crash, I see: merlin@Minmus:~$ tracker status Currently indexed: 0 files, 0 folders Remaining space on database partition: 735.4 GB (83.29%) Data is still being indexed: Estimated 36s left Deleting the database at ~/.cache/tracker/meta.db does not fix the problem. My theory is that tracker encounters something in my files that causes a crash.

It is either NOT a SQLite database or it is corrupt or there was an IO error accessing the data. This file has now been removed and will be recreated on the next start. Shutting down now. I tried removing the file b00035.au but tracker still crashes. I have two systems that behave in the same way. The home folder is almost identical on both, which supports my "poison file" hypothesis. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to tracker in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1919255 Title: tracker-store crashed with signal 5 Status in tracker package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: This just happened...
