Ron,<br><br>Thanks for tip. Couldn't find tracker-processes spec'd in release notes! Notes referred to bug 361205. Trawled through: tried suggestion of:<br>sudo apt-get install tracker tracker-utils --reinstall<br>
tracker-processes -r<br>That worked. But no tracker on sys tray. Checked tracker startup (in Sessions menu entry) and thus ran /usr/lib/tracker/trackerd: gave (trackerd:16978): Tracker-WARNING **: Error loading query:'sqlite-fulltext.sql' #0, Cannot use virtual tables in shared-cache mode. I find this sort of thing pretty commonplace on launchpad i.e. incomplete fixes and no regression testing. Same often applies to Ubuntu ppa's e.g. recent Frescobaldi ppa install results in all sorts of bizarre kde messages: presumably due to Frescobaldi only being tested for kde even though launchpad states that it is suitable for Ubuntu & Kubuntu. I still don't understand what the best spec for hda_intel sound cards is in alsa-base.conf (covered in numerous launchpad bugs).<br>
<br>Anyway, I enjoyed that rant!<br><br>Regards,<br>John<br>07894 211434<br><br>

Did you get the issue with tracker sorted? There is a fix in the release<br>
notes<br>
<a href="http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/904#Tracker%20index%20corruption" target="_blank">http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/904#Tracker%20index%20corruption</a><br>
<br>
However, tracker has been dropped from the default install of Jaunty for<br>
various reasons, so if you don't use it, remove it. As I never used it,<br>
I don't miss it.<br>
