similar to: Samba 4.8.1: spotlight enabled share can not connect to Tracker

I’m having this exact same issue after upgrading from 4.7.x to 4.9.1. I’ve been using the same set of instructions to setup tracker for a few years without issue. Does anyone have any suggestions? I’m stuck on this and can’t figure out what’s changed. Thanks. Mike Pestorich > Date: Mon May 14 12:31:28 UTC 2018 > From: Dirk Köppen > > Hi, > > this is the error message I do

Many years ago, on OSX 10.4 I was faced with the slow update of some Finder attributes. I was working on a script that worked in fact, but apparently did not consistently because of the delay, a very annoying problem tht it took time to identify. The solution that someone suggested to me was : osascript -e 'tell application "Finder" to update folder (Mac path to the target

Hi all, I have a setup that I'm trying to configure spotlight on samba to work with Apples OSX. In the samba wiki it says to use ./configure --enable-spotlight However that function actually isn't in the current production samba version nor is it in the 4.2rc version so far as I can tell. Id love some pointers as to how to get samba working with spotlight as the wiki document is either

Hi Ralph, Thanks for your reply ... and for developing the Spotlight Module You made me go "slowly" through the log and you were right ... I missed to change the path in system-tracker-extract.service system-tracker-store.service in Ubuntu it must be /usr/lib/tracker/ and not /usr/libexec/tracker as given in the preconfigured files ... Maybe a Hint in the Spotlight Article would

Hi, Is there someone who could give me an advice about the correct usage of the tracker-wrapper ? As far as I understand the dbus service files must look like this: [Service] Type=simple GuessMainPID=no Environment="TRACKER_BUS_TYPE=system" ExecStart=/usr/lib/tracker/tracker-wrapper tracker-extract Restart=on-abort User=mdssvc Would this be the correct syntax?

Samba 4.12 release notes <https://www.samba.org/samba/history/samba-4.12.0.html> mention "New Spotlight backend for Elasticsearch" and specify some new parameters for smb.conf, but there appear to be zero guides or further instructions for getting this to work. I'm not even clear how filesystem indexing is supposed to work. ElasticSearch appears to be simply a searchable

Hi, Is anyone using Spotlight with Elasticsearch in production and what kind of tweaking have you had to do? Certain search types seem to work out of the box, but others not. Perhaps fscrawler and Elasticsearch need some customization that the wiki doesn?t mention. There also seems to be a difference in using the main search box in the Finder window or the more granular options below, even if

Hai, Selfcompiles samba?

Elasticsearch was simpler to get going but it doesn?t really suite the use case due to limitations in fscrawler. hm, a customer is using this with good results on laaaaaaarge datasets. I had seen you mentioning problems in an

How could I investigate this further? If I monitor session and system dbus activity with dbus-monitor I can see activity if I do ?tracker search pdf? as the mdssvc user, but nothing if I search through Samba. I only get those two errors below. So seems like Samba dbus connection isn?t working. I?ve followed the wiki very closely so to me it looks like it?s missing a step or the latest versions

Before doing anything stupid: + has anyone made quicklook work with markdown files (extension '.markdown')? + has anyone made spotlight plugin that index markdown files (same extension)? jem -- Jan Erik Mostr?m, www.mostrom.pp.se

Hi Team, Did anybody solve the issue of FScrawler crawling over multiple shares, preferably from a single job or from a single service? Setting up a service for FScrawler per share does not scale very nice... - Kees.

Hi! I am on Ubuntu 20.04 with the vendor provided Samba 4.15.13 packages. My smb.conf is at the end of the email. I have Gnome Tracker set up and working (from the command prompt on the server, tracker search keyword, is working) as per https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Spotlight_with_Gnome_Tracker_Backend However, from the macOS workstation side, Spotlight still does not appear to be working

When comparing to native macOS Spotlight searches, the Samba & elasticsearch combo is much slower, at least for me. Samba takes minutes to return a few hundred results, while native macOS returns thousands of results in a few seconds. This is remotely over a mobile connection, LAN is probably better. Is this due to the missing Spotlight RPC packet fragmentation support mentioned in the

Hi, I was wondering if there was a logging category for which I can increase the verbosity for spotlight? I am trying to set up Samba 4 with Gnome Tracker as the backend, and I followed the Samba wiki ( https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Spotlight_with_Gnome_Tracker_Backend ). The tracker backend is working, but spotlight itself still isn't working on workstations (trying to search on a shared

Hi, I finally found out why I?ve had trouble getting Spotlight searches working well with the latest installation I?m working on. It looks like searches won?t work if there are any accented characters in the share name. In this case it is the ? character. Running mount in macOS shows it like this: //user at server.address/Share_with_the_O%CC%88_character on /Volumes/Share_with_the_?_character

Hai, I have/can recreate a build with this enable, but these would not make it into my repo. (yet) This is because i can not test the spotlight/tracker ( and/or TimeMachine ) settings. So.. There is the link with samba 4.6.7 builded for debian Jessie with spotlight enabled. Not signed, only amd64 arch. https://downloads.van-belle.nl/samba4/samba-spotlight-enabled.tar.gz Included :

Hi, I know that might be the wrong list to ask this but I´m really running out of Ideas and knowledge.

Interesting. This will likely take a day or two to diagnose and fix. Hopefully someone comes around and funds this fix. Can you please file a bugreport to we can track this and more folks become aware of this? -slow On 7/9/24 11:40 AM, Perttu Aaltonen via samba wrote: > Hi, > > I finally found out why I?ve had trouble getting Spotlight searches > working well with the latest
