Hi, I had nearly the same problem, the indexer stopped working, and the new files didn't show even after ran: tracker-processes -r the out put of tracker-stats gives nothing, and tracker-status gives paused: ~ $ tracker-stats Statistics: ~ $ tracker-status Tracker status is 'Paused' So, the solution was by issue these commands as user: First stop the tracker: ~ $ /etc/osso-af-init/tracker.sh stop Stopping Tracker.... and then remove the old index: ~ $ tracker-processes -r After that you need to force the tracker to index all the files: ~ $ /usr/lib/tracker/trackerd -r That will force it to re-build the index. You might need to run the tracker: ~ $ /etc/osso-af-init/tracker.sh start Now if you issue tracker-status you will see it indexing: ~ $ tracker-status Tracker status is 'Indexing' after finishing the indexing reboot your device. and everything will be OK later. That procedure works fine with me. Please test it and give us the results
