Re: trackerd error

If you start trackerd (or anything else) as root, it can't connect to the dbus.  Trackerd requires dbus to work correctly.

Is there a specific reason you're not running this as a user?

Yeah, this is the reason...

Re: trackerd error

Interesting.

trackerd creates a lock file in $HOME/.local/share/tracker/ called $USER_tracker_lock

Perhaps there are permissions issues with this directory?

Re: trackerd error

I'm getting this message, too.

Process /usr/bin/trackerd exited with status 0

When I try to start trackerd, it says it's already running.
