There are many threads dealing with this problem, the majority of which have solutions. There is even an application in the repository that lets you configure the thumbnailer daemon.

maybe if u read, he did say that he used tracker-cfg to turn indexing off. I'm starting to think the majority of maemo users don't read properly at all.

Code:

sudo gainroot
cd /usr/libexec
mv hildon-thumbnailerd hildon-thumbnailerd-old
echo "#!/bin/ash
return 0" > hildon-thumbnailerd

Note: press the enter key after typing "ash", then type the next line.

This will replace that application with a script that does nothing.


have u tried this though?? Have u had any problems with it??

I read it just fine - "I'm about to throw my N900 because of a problem that I can trivially fix if I would just read the numerous threads explaining how trackerd works, and how to reconfigure it manually, but I want someone to hand hold me through the process"

Seems to me people like to start new threads about old topics that have been covered to death - that qualifies as 'not reading properly at all' by your definition too.

if you use your brain as well as you do with your sarcasm, you'll find that it's very simple to understand that you simply didn't read how he mentioned about using tracker-cfg. It's as simple as that. Don't play stupid games with me.
