A package that Nautilus (the default File Manager in pearOS, also known as Pinder ) uses got renamed from tracker3-miner to localsearch.
To fix the issue where Nautilus (Pinder) is not opening, open a terminal ( or use CTRL+ALT+T) and type:
sudo pacman -Sy localsearch
After this, your file manager should work as expected
What is (was) tracker3-miner?
-
tracker3-miner is a background system process (daemon) used in Linux operating systems (specifically those running the GNOME desktop environment) to search, index, and organize file metadata.
-
It acts like a local search engine for your computer, similar to Windows Search on Windows or Spotlight on macOS.
Key Functions
*Data Collection: It crawls through your files (documents, audio, videos, images) and extracts metadata like titles, artist names, tags, and creation dates.Search
Optimization:
- It stores this information in a database so that when you search for a file via the GNOME activities overview or the Files app (Nautilus), the results appear instantly.
