Ubuntu :: Gnome-do Tracker (search) Plugin Not Working
Sep 14, 2010
Title explains it all. The tracker plugin is enabled and it shows up in do's action list but when I try to search nothing happens... no windows, no errors, just a big silent nothing.
gnome-do version : 0.8.3.1 (latest)
gnome-do-plugins version : 0.8.2.1 (latest)
tracker version : 0.8.17 (latest stable)
Does anyone else have the same problem (and preferably a solution as well)?
I installed the tracker plugin for Evolution, but it is not sending any information to the tracker search engine. The tracker icon shows that the email indexing is working but nothing happens. It shows always 0%.Does someone have an idea what the problem might be?
When ever I try to play something on totem or rhythmbox (.m4a and .mp3) it tells me I need "MPEG-1 Layer 3 (MP3) decoder, Do you want to search for this now?" and once I do it says "Failed to search for plugin". The same thing happens with .m4a.
I installed tracker search tool and found it depended on evolution.Why ?If there is a evolution integration, please split it into a standalone package.
I just installed Gnome Do and for the most part, it works great!
The only problem is that it does not search my Firefox bookmarks. Every other search seems to work just fine. I ran Do in a terminal and this is what came up:
(Do:13821): Wnck-CRITICAL **: wnck_set_client_type got called multiple times.
Firefox.PlacesItemSource "Firefox Places" encountered an error in UpdateItems: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object at Mono.Data.SqliteClient.SqliteDataReader.GetString (Int32 i) [0x00000] at Firefox.PlacesItemSource+<LoadPlaceItems>c__Iterat or3.MoveNext () [0x00000]
[Code]....
After that, I went in a disabled the Firefox plug in and ran it again and the only alert was the "Wnck-CRITICAL" message, which seems to always be there.
I'm using Gnome Time Tracker 2.3.0 to track the time I spend on projects, it works fine except that my system just crashed and it does not show my recently tracked projects any more. does any one know of a way I can get this information back, it's quite important.
I would like some info regarding an external backup hard drive I use. This carries a lot of text and sound files that I need frequent access to, and I would like to be able to quickly search on that drive using the standard GNOME tracker search facilities. The drive is connected via USB and mounted to /media/hhrutz/Mnemo2.
I have the following questions:
- the database is maintained on my laptop's harddrive in $HOME/.cache/tracker and $HOME/.local/share/tracker/data, correct?- therefore, it would not be a problem for the tracker to update its data if I decided to mount the harddrive in read-only mode?- is it possible to get an overview about the size of the database?- do I have to keep the button "Include removable media" in the "Indexing Preferences" checked?
In other words, is this harddrive understood as a removable media?- if so, can I exempt this drive from "Garbage Collection". That is, I generally do _not_ want to index for example USB thumb drives and such, so I use the default 3-days expiry settings. Does that mean, all the gathered data from my backup harddrive will be gone if I don't connect that drive every two days? Can I prevent that? Because the indexing takes extremely long
I also notice that while the tracker is spinning my harddisk, it doesn't ever seem to advance. It stays at "1%":

I have a problem with Transmission. After using it for over six months without a single problem, it suddenly stopped downloading. In the torrents that do no get downloaded, I get an error message Tracker responded: Unknown error (0) in the info window, tracker tab. But there are torrents with the same tracker that don'thave a problem and get downloaded fineThe logs don't give a clue about whats wrong either.I tried downloading those torrents with Vuze and I had the same problem. What could be wrong?
My problem is that Transmission or Bit-torrent is not working. I have tried to run them as root but that does nothing. The error returned for bit-torrent is "tracker timed out" and transmission says "not available". I am running Debian Lenny5 (this is a fresh install).
Does anybody have strigi krunner plugin work as search-engine and not as lottery? Same goes with search desktop containment - when typing in few letters from the file name, it never founds the file, only displaying ca 10 random files based on content(i guess) instead.
Does anyone know of a way to perform a search for multiple file extensions at once in Gnome? I know that M$ Windows Explorer had this capability, but I'm just not sure how to do it in Gnome, or if it's possible. I just want to be able to perform searches for Video, Music, and Document file types, without having to perform a separate search for each file extension. Example: When doing a search for Video file types (.avi,.mp4,.mov,.wma, etc.), I would like to do one search for all files that have these file extensions, instead of doing one search for .avi files, a second search for .mp4 files, another for .mov files, etc.
I just want to search file names, not their content.
Using gnome-search-tool, if I search for "word1 word3" I can't find "word1 word2 word3.txt" but I do find it (and too many others) if I just search for "word1"
I would have thought a boolean AND search would just be automatic, but I guess not. I've already come across searchmonkey, but I'm not smart enough to figure out how to set it up to do this - i.e. I don't want to have to use regular expressions or be typing "*" all over the place.
P.S. I do use google desktop search, but I hate using it as the results are way too narrow to be of any use and haven't been able to figure out how to widen it.
P.P.S. I also found this: In terminal type gconf-editor and find gnome-search-tool in the Apps. Then look for the field quick_search_second_scan_excluded_paths and change the slash to nothing, i.e. delete the "/".
It worked for my ubuntu 10.04 pc, but not this one (ubuntu 9.1) - so I thought maybe there's another way...
What's the easiest way to search for a string in a text file in GNOME or on the console? I used to do this in kfindfile back on KDE.I'd like to avoid downloading something like desktop search if at all possible because I'm away for the holidays and stuck on a dialup connection.
The searchfunction in Gnome 3 does not find the files in my DropBox. When searching it does find the DropBox folder, but not the files contained in them.
Dropbox folder is placed in /home/myusr/
All other subcontent folders in the home directory does show up in gnome search,
Went through Google and DuckDuckGo but was unble to find out how to manually change the places that the searchfunction indexes.
So I've been using Rhythmbox and Gnome Do for quite some time now, and this problem has persisted for about as long
So I've got the Rhythmbox plugin enabled in Gnome Do. Awesome. I can invoke Gnome Do (Super + Space on my system) and start typing up some music I want to hear. This morning I wanted to listen to Buck 65's album Vertex. So I start typing "Buck 65" and the artist is listed in Gnome Do as expected.
I hit the right arrow to see a listing of his albums. I arrow down to Vertex and press Enter. What I expect is that Rhythmbox will start playing that album. However, there is simply no effect. This occurs at all levels of music browsing with Gnome Do. I can select an artist, album, or specific song, and no matter what I select, Rhythmbox doesn't respond at all. This is true if Rhythmbox is already running or not, whether it's already playing music or not. There's just no effect.
In short, Gnome Do correctly sees Rhythmbox's index of my music, and I can traverse the artists, etc with it just fine, but it will not actually make Rhythmbox play that music.
That said, other functions of the Rhythmbox plugin work fine. I can pause and play music just fine using Gnome Do.
I have tracker installed, and when I use "tracker-search ..." from terminal, I can find files as expected. In particular, it searches within file contents, not just the titles.
I was hoping to have similar functionality directly from gnome-shell. I've found a number of extensions to do this such as: [URL] .... but none of them work (gnome 3.14, debian Jessie).
How to set up file contents search directly from gnome in Jessie?
Using a default terminal and bash, there is no functionality to search the standard output of commands.
One can gain such functionality using other tools, like emacs shell or screen, but I am wondering why such a useful feature is missing, I do remember a simple C-F used to work in terminals.
Is there a way to make the Gnome terminal app support output search? or is there a better terminal app that support searching output natively?
having problem dealing with gnome-do, before this, I never have problem while tweeting with the tweeter plugin in gnome-do.Now, when I want to tweet up with gnome-do, the gnome-do suddenly crash and I need to open it back via Application to make it use back again.
Is there anything special I need to do to get file searching working in Unity? Currently Search for Files never finds anything in my documents area. I just get "Your Search did not match any files"
In case I missed it in my seaching is there a 3rd party Gnome plugin available for Perlbox Voice? It really is an excellent piece of software, though unfortunately it doesn't play well with Gnome. And I REALLY don't want to switch to KDE. Their website hasn't been updated in awhile, and their powers-that-be are requesting help with programming one. If it doesn't exist is their anyone that I could request/beg/bribe to make one?
i'm having problems with the flash plugin. a lot of sites that use flash for buttons and things just won't work. this happens a lot with videos videos posted on blogs and such, although they seem to work, mostly but not always, on the actual videos website. i didn't have this problem with earlier versions of flash, is it possible to downgrade the version i'm using? using 10.04lts 64 bit. i installed flash via synaptic, flashplugin-installer 10.1.82.76
I am trying to get the java plugin extension for firefox so that I can run some java applications. I've modified the repositories, run sudo-apt-update, and run apt-get install java6-plugin (among other things). I thought this was successful because when I go to synaptic package manager the sun-java6 things are marked as installed. But when I open up firefox and look at my extensions, there is no java6 plugin!
I am using fedora14 and evolution 2.32.2 email client. I cannot search all of my local email folders anymore. I can search folders individually, but when I try to search them all I get no results. Any ideas?
I have Ubuntu 9.04. I've installed Skype on it, and I have pidgin 2.5.5. I downloaded and installed the skype4pidgin plugin, and I've restarted Pidgin, I've restarted Skype, I've restarted the entire computer, and still Skype is not appearing in the available Accounts Type list when I go to add a new account.
I'm running Ubuntu 11.4. I've played with different versions of Picasa, installing the Linux version via Ubuntu Software Center and also using Wine. At a certain point I had several versions of the application installed and things were getting. When I search for Picasa in the Unity application search field (clicking the button with the dot in the centre at the top left of my screen) I got several results for Picasa, some of which when clicked would start Picasa and some which wouldn't. When I remove all versions of Picasa both from Wine and native I still get some results for Picasa which don't start Picasa when clicked.
Gedit-2.28.3 text editor is not working adequately on Osuse 11.2: after selecting 'Search'--> 'Find/Replace'is not feasible to write properly in the corresponding box greyed/unabled)
Somehow I was able to see Opera, and could use the Search bar/box but I can't use it the same way for Firefox in Linux. Firefox is fine in Windows, but not in Linux, so I decided to delete it and install it again. But it doesn't work.
