My .xsession-errors is full of errors from tracker-store:

GLib-GIO:ERROR:gdbusmessage.c:1979:append_value_to_blob: assertion failed: (g_utf8_validate (v, -1, &end) && (end == v + len))

Comment 1 Bernd Feige 2012-07-20 08:54:39 UTC
Same here. I guess the reason why we see this and others don't (otherwise the response should be more ... overwhelming) is that we both have LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 set (I also have LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_NUMERIC=C).

There was a promising note here:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=140435
It indicated that tracker components somehow require US date format (AM/PM) in the storage.

Regarding the error: Tracker is currently completely defunct for me. I don't get the libicu messages in .xsession-errors but in ~/.local/share/tracker/tracker-store.log. Also tracker-search and tracker-needle give these warnings, eg:

(tracker-search:14412): Tracker-WARNING **: Error initializing libicu support: 'U_ILLEGAL_ARGUMENT_ERROR'

and no result at all even for words I know very well to be present in my files.
Is tracker-search functional in any way for you? I removed ~/.local/share/tracker at one point trying to fix things but to no avail.

Best regards,
Bernd
Comment 2 Bernd Feige 2012-07-20 10:27:46 UTC
Update: Setting *all of* LANG=C LC_CTYPE=C LC_NUMERIC=C both tracker-store and tracker-search work (needed to remove ~/.local/share/tracker/data though to get any matches despite a quite sizable tracker-store.journal...)
Comment 3 Bernd Feige 2012-07-20 12:37:23 UTC
Update 2: I think I found the reason for the less-than-overwhelming response now: The problem only occurs with "mixed" LC_* settings such as my own.

When not touching LC_NUMERIC (i.e. unset LC_NUMERIC) everything is file also using LANG=de_DE.UTF-8.

Now I'm sure that a relatively recent change caused this; could have either been

sys-libs/glibc-2.15-r2

or

dev-libs/icu-49.1.2

Best regards,
Bernd
Comment 4 Alexandre Rostovtsev (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-07-20 12:47:15 UTC
Bernd, so, to summarize, is this correct: to fix the problem, it's sufficient to run tracker with either LC_NUMERIC=C or LC_NUMERIC unset?
Comment 5 Alexandre Rostovtsev (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-07-20 13:12:14 UTC
Looks like running "LC_NUMERIC=de_DE.utf8 tracker-needle" in an otherwise en_US.UTF-8 environment is enough to get the U_ILLEGAL_ARGUMENT_ERROR errors.
Comment 6 Alexandre Rostovtsev (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-07-20 15:48:11 UTC
Should be fixed in tracker-0.12.10-r1 and 0.14.2-r1. Patch submitted upstream at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=675660

Wow, that was quick - Hooray and thanks Alexandre!
