Comment 55 for bug 131983

I just installed ubuntu 7.10 a couple days ago. trackerd is indeed consuming a tremendous amount of cpu time:

$ uptime
 09:35:28 up 2 days, 18:42, 5 users, load average: 3.13, 3.15, 3.14

$ ps -C trackerd
  PID TTY TIME CMD
23057 ? 1-01:34:56 trackerd

Any explicit advice on how to remove this would be appreciated. Assume I know very little about how to disable this thing. What detailed steps are needed?

Thanks
Kevin
