[00:18] <DarkTrick> brainwash, interestingly enough, I could not start them via systemd
[00:19] <DarkTrick> brainwash, ah, so startup would only disable ./config/autostart/tracker*
[00:19] <DarkTrick> ?
[09:08] <brainwash> DarkTrick: exactly
[09:10] <brainwash> DarkTrick: therefore, it's not a bug in Xfce (unless you want Xfce to have an interface to configure systemd user services)
[09:42] <DarkTrick> brainwash, then it's not an Xfce bug, but an xubuntu bug, where would I report an xubuntu bug? Or could it be a ubuntu bug saying that tracker* is configured as `autostart` AND service, where it should really be only either one?
[09:43] <brainwash> DarkTrick: are you certain it is autostarted?
[09:43] <brainwash> it could be some application (Nautilus) starting it
[09:49] <DarkTrick> brainwash, I did not thoroughly analyze it, but they are getting started during bootup - even before logging in. I would guess nautilus is not yet present at that time (except there is some hidden feature of nautilus I'm not seeing)
[09:50] <DarkTrick> Also, if I change /usr/lib/systemd/user/tracker*.service to /usr/lib/systemd/user/tracker*.service.disabled they don't get started anymore
[09:54] <brainwash> you'll have to find out why they are enabled/activated by default
[09:55] <brainwash> could be packaging or an upstream decision -> GNOME
[09:55] <DarkTrick> by "they" you mean the services or the "autostarts"?
[09:56] <DarkTrick> brainwash, ↑
[10:02] <brainwash> DarkTrick: tracker and its miners
[10:04] <brainwash> you apparently don't want them to run
[10:04] <DarkTrick> brainwash, well.. I think they are enabled because they are part of the system, I guess? 
[10:04] <DarkTrick> So having them autostarted by default is not the problem I see
[10:05] <brainwash> ah okay
[10:05] <DarkTrick> (sorry, miscommunication :/ )
[10:05] <DarkTrick> The problem is, that they are not easily disable-able
[10:06] <brainwash> you can disable them via systemctl
[10:06] <DarkTrick> because they apparently get autostarted from two different positions: ~/.config/autostart and through systemd
[10:06] <DarkTrick> regarding xubuntu the problem arises, when using "session and startup", because the user *thinks* they have disabled it, while it is still started by systemd
[10:07] <DarkTrick> so the system is not clear towards the user
[10:08] <brainwash> isn't this true for pulseaudio too?
[10:08] <brainwash> it has an autostart launcher I think
[10:10] <brainwash> another example is xfsettingsd which has an autostart entry, but Xfce starts it anyway as part of the session
[10:10] <brainwash> the entry is meant as fallback
[10:11] <brainwash> maybe that's the case for tracker too
[10:12] <DarkTrick> brainwash, this sounds to me, that the system is even more flawed in this area
[10:13] <DarkTrick> If the user can turn something off, that gets started anyway, that's the system lying to the user
[10:14] <DarkTrick> The question would then be: who is is charge (project) and what is to change...
[10:22] <brainwash> the system isn't lying
[10:23] <brainwash> I don't know how to solve this
[10:23] <brainwash> https://docs.xfce.org/_media/xfce/xfce4-session/xfce4-session-preferences-autostart.png
[10:24] <brainwash> that info text is gone in Xfce 4.16
[10:27] <brainwash> my idea was to add a hint to explain that autostart can be done through other ways also
[10:30] <DarkTrick> brainwash, thank you for your input. I guess I'll go with a "config problem" for now. As it seems this also happens on ubuntu, I will move the bug there and see what happens.
