Problems with tracker-miners(?)

Problems with tracker-miners(?)

[Trev]

Hey Guix,

Please forgive my ignorance here.  I am not fully with it in terms of
how GNOME works.

It seems to me that many aspects of GNOME are just broken since the day
I installed it with my Guix System.  More specifically, those that might
be related to tracker-miners.

A few immediate examples are gnome-music, totem and gnome-photos.
None of these are able to find/use my media.

A different, probably unrelated issue is that Nautilus doesn't show any
thumbnails.

In terms of configuration I am using the following services and
packages on the system level:

-----

(define gnome-extras
  (list gnome-tweaks
        gnome-shell-extensions
        peek
        seahorse))

(packages
  (append
   (list docker-compose
         light
         nss-certs
         sbcl
         stumpwm+slynk
         xsecurelock
         emacs)
   gnome-extras
   %base-packages))

(services
  (modify-services (append
                    (list (service gnome-desktop-service-type)
                          (service gnome-keyring-service-type)
                          (service docker-service-type)
                          (service cups-service-type
                                   (cups-configuration
                                    (web-interface? #t)
                                    (extensions
                                     (list hplip cups-filters foomatic-filters))
                                    (default-paper-size "Letter")))
                          (bluetooth-service)
                          (set-xorg-configuration
                           (xorg-configuration
                            (keyboard-layout keyboard-layout)))
                          (udev-rules-service 'light light))
                    %desktop-services)
                   (guix-service-type config =>
                                      (guix-configuration
                                       (inherit config)
                                       (substitute-urls
                                        (append
                                         (list "https://substitutes.nonguix.org")
                                         %default-substitute-urls))
                                       (authorized-keys
                                        (append
                                         (list (local-file "./nongnu.pub"))
                                         %default-authorized-guix-keys))))))

Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you all

Hi Trev,

I'm using Guix System (guix 77e768a), which comes with GNOME 42.4.

That's my experience too, although some things have improved.

In my case, only gnome-photos lists images from my ~/Images folder (and only that folder). Totem and gnome-music display a blank view. Music and Photos seem to be useless without autodiscovery because they don't seem to have any button to load media manually (or at least I can't find it).

This one has a corresponding bug report that I see you already found (https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/39117).

Unfortunately I don't know how to fix that myself.
