OMG!! Make it stop!!

Forum thread started by DFergATL on Sat, 2014-08-16 02:46

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???

In the lower right corner there's a button. Right click it.

Hi DFergATL!

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.

Re!

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

Humdinger,

I am getting an error when I run "hey Tracker DELETE Replicant BSnow of Shelf of View PoseView of Window 0"

Reply BMessage(B_Reply):
"error" (B_INIT32_TYPE) : 0 (0x000000000)

OMG!!! Part 2!

It's gone. I think that that command must have worked even through it returned an error. I would still like to know what that error is...

The error code is always returned, in this case 0 = B_OK = B_NO_ERROR.

Another option should be to run BSnow again from the leaf menu, its window should say "click me to remove".

Ok, good to know.

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.

The missing "Click me" is part of the bug that is tracked in ticket #11134.
