I ran a little program in Demo called BeSnow. Now I can’t make it stop!! I have even shut down the laptop, unplugged it and removed the battery. As soon as tracker starts up that damn program starts running again. I can kill the thread, but how the hell do I make it go way???
There’s apparently a bug in BSnow… Got snowed in?
You can kill that rogue BSnow replicant (and unfortunately every other Replicant on our Desktop) by deleting /boot/home/config/settings/Tracker/tracker_shelf. Then kill (not quit!) Tracker with ProcessController or the TeamMonitor and restart Tracker.
A quick look into the mailinglist archives showed an even nicer way, without killing/restarting Tracker or losing your tracker_shelf setting. In Terminal:
hey Tracker DELETE Replicant BSnow of Shelf of View PoseView of Window 0
about BSnow, I did run the app again before I posted the first time. Just for an FYI, I did not get an option to “Click me to remove” In all I ended up with 3 instanced of BSnow running.
