I am seeing this issue too. I'm using a laptop with a fully crypted hard disk, including swap. Typing in this report is actually quite annoying with the occassional freezes happening.
The tracker logs files trackerd.log and tracker-extract.log are empty for me. The log file tracker-indexer.log has this kind of lines repeating (about 30-40 so far, the empty lines between messages are verbatim from the log file): 28 May 2009, 13:53:00: Tracker-Warning **: Invalid byte sequence in conversion input 28 May 2009, 13:58:11: Tracker-Warning **: Invalid byte sequence in conversion input 28 May 2009, 13:58:24: Tracker-Warning **: Invalid byte sequence in conversion input 28 May 2009, 13:58:41: Tracker-Warning **: Invalid byte sequence in conversion input 28 May 2009, 13:59:18: Tracker-Warning **: Invalid byte sequence in conversion input 28 May 2009, 13:59:30: Tracker-Warning **: Invalid byte sequence in conversion input .... Nothing else in the log file than those. First message timestamp 28 May 2009, 13:32:45, last message timestamp 28 May 2009, 13:59:30 - then the problem seems to have gone away. Here's some example vmstat 5 output during the problem happening: procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- -system-- ----cpu---- r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa 2 5 31772 61980 52816 1091324 0 0 6 69 1547 4823 13 9 0 79 0 3 31772 60236 52844 1092776 0 0 54 1747 1889 3812 26 10 6 59 1 0 31772 58048 53068 1097516 0 0 567 66 2159 5687 37 11 25 26 2 0 31856 60760 51692 1095632 0 17 713 867 1875 5774 50 10 29 11 1 0 31856 55448 51864 1101752 0 0 881 614 1900 5431 49 11 29 11 2 0 31868 52564 51568 1105264 0 2 938 496 1815 4424 46 9 37 8 3 0 32040 52724 51328 1105608 0 34 1058 617 1979 4839 43 10 39 8 1 0 32168 53588 51204 1104140 0 26 1039 631 1988 4884 45 9 38 9 0 2 32400 53880 51148 1102076 0 46 127 4414 1978 3828 23 19 25 34 1 3 32592 56484 51040 1096148 0 38 50 7881 1952 4213 21 11 30 38 0 6 32592 57016 51044 1096072 0 0 8 0 1924 4081 24 9 3 64 1 7 32592 57884 51044 1096072 0 0 0 1 1642 4603 7 7 0 86 0 7 32592 58480 51044 1096072 0 0 0 0 1705 5137 8 7 0 85 1 7 32592 59444 51044 1096072 0 0 0 0 1641 4688 7 8 0 84 2 0 32592 57656 51212 1100876 0 0 685 70 1941 4879 39 9 27 25 1 0 32592 54016 51648 1103456 0 0 762 462 1969 4499 40 9 38 13 2 0 32592 53448 52472 1104204 0 0 429 709 1858 3993 34 8 40 18 5 1 32784 53152 53608 1102884 0 38 234 776 1942 3964 29 10 37 24 4 0 32804 53460 53820 1102248 0 4 884 634 2063 5030 41 10 39 10 The bi/bo values go to 0 whenever the system freezes, so I would think it's some kind of io-issue. The CPU IO-wait time jumps then. CPU doesn't seem to go to 100% usage at all, so not a CPU-bound issue. I was playing some music at the time, the playing would stop whenever the freeze occurred. -- tracker IO activity slows down ubuntu 9.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/373158 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
