I did tail -f /var/log/syslog, and I'm noticing these errrors every minute:

I have googled a bit but I couldn't find an anwser. xdg-user-dirs-update did not help. journalctl couldn't find tracker-miner-f(s), eventho it says .service. How can I fix this because I can't find anything in syslog as it is completely spamed with these errors. If you need anymore information just ask for it.

As someone asked on a different forum, no I don't have a special install. I didn't do something custom. While installing ubuntu, almost all the time, I was clicking continue. I didn't change default home dirs. There is only one user on the system (aside from users for programs), that was made while installing Ubuntu. I have never used a different user than that one that was made while installing.

~/.config/user-dirs.dirs is correctly setup (see comments).

Thanks.

  • Same question here, without answer: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1281399/ubuntu-20-04-1-tracker-miner-errors-in-syslog – vanadium Jan 11 '21 at 13:28
  • Chack the contents of ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs – vanadium Jan 11 '21 at 13:29
  • XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop" XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/Downloads" XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/Templates" XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR="$HOME/Public" XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/Documents" XDG_MUSIC_DIR="$HOME/Music" XDG_PICTURES_DIR="$HOME/Pictures" XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="$HOME/Videos" And I also found that question you gave a link to but it doesn't have an answer so... – Cas Jan 11 '21 at 16:36
  • Well, I already said "without answer" in my comment. That file looks OK. I would add that to the question (use "edit") so one already can exclude that as a cause of the issue. – vanadium Jan 11 '21 at 16:56
  • dpkg -l | grep dbus-user-session Is this package on your system? – nobody Jan 12 '21 at 12:38
