Ok just had my N900 a few days now. Cracking device but this is a weird problem im having.

If im using the camera and say i want to look at the pictures i just took i click on the bottom right icon in camera mode to open gallery. But. it comes up "no images" same thing happens when i just go straight to gallery via photos icon in menu.

But when i click top bar and look at "filter by folder" it says beneath it "all images" so u would assume is would show all images in phones memory.

when i click on "filter by folder" > custom folder > then Nokia n900 > Camera

this then shows my photos

dos anyone know why it wont show them under all images or can u change the the default folder for photos to Camera folder instead of all images.

hope someone can help its very annoying.

ok somethin is definitely wrong i just went into media player and it says i have no songs or videos when i know i have 100's of songs an quite a few videos on it.

The other day it did show that i had songs and videos etc.

could it be somethin i downloaded?

That's the indexer (tracker) that's stuffed itself up. I do a "tracker-processes --hard-reset" to sort that out, but this will clear all the tracker info out and mean it'll have to reindex everything from scratch, which can take a while if you have a large collection. I'm not sure whether there's any simpler way of fixing this though.

Hard reset? you mean reformat? or a soft reset? Real nice n slow restart.

No, just run that command in X Terminal - it shuts down the tracker process and deletes the database. When you then run the media player/image viewer it'll restart the tracker, and reindex all media files.

I've just responded to you on the Vodafone forums, Jordib, but I agree with the post above. Indexer tracker is the likely culprit.

thanks for the help folks, im just glad its not a faulty n900

so what exactly do i do to fix it? sorry im new to all this linux stuff lol

Rob1n mentioned it above, but in X Terminal you need to type:

tracker-processes --hard-reset

This kills the indexer tracker process and removes the associated db entries. To restart the tracker again you just need to restart the media player application. As Rob1n also said, if you have a lot of media it can take a while for the indexing to finish.

open x-terminal
$ tracker-processes -r
$ exit

open media player, wait till it recreates the database. this can take some time so be patient. once done, check photos app

hope this fixes it

it worked, thank u very much much appreciated
