Media Tracker problem

[Hootenholler]

Media Library has stopped showing any of my music or videos. I have performed the tracker reset as instructed in many other threads, but even after 2 days and multiple reboots and resets, there is still nothing showing when I go into Media Player.

If I run /etc/osso-af-init/tracker.sh start in XTerminal, I get back

Starting Tracker...Initializing trackerd...
Starting log:
File:'/home/user/.local/share/tracker/trackerd.log'
failed!


If I browse to the directory and run ls tracker.log is listed there.

Linux is completely new to me but what the hell!? Please help me!

mhm... maybe moving the log-file would help:

mv /home/user/.local/share/tracker/tracker.log /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/
(then you'll have the original file as a backup in .documents ^^)

and then try to reset the tracker again

[Hootenholler]

No joy.
Am I supposed to be typing the reset commands at
~ $
??

[b666m]

you may have to be root (install rootsh and type "sudo gainroot" before resetting the tracker).

[Hootenholler]

Still nothing. When I run the reset command, it doesn't list the tracker.log file as being changed or reset in any way. Is this normal?

[Hootenholler]

Thanks b666m - does anybody else have any ideas? I'm about to throw the phone against the wall!

tracker-processes -r
should do the trick

Sounds a lot like https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8862 ...

Not even reflashing has fixed this. Really disappointed with the phone right now and completely stumped as to what I should try next.
