How to disable tracker globally in Ubuntu 20.04

tracker behaves very noisy on my system. I do not want to remove tracker from my system, I want to disable it.

I am using Ubuntu 20.04 Desktop with gnome DE. My Search has been disabled in settings and I repeated this step for every existing user account.

Now, I want to prevent repeating these steps for every user account I create in the future. I want to globally disable tracker for every user. I want the user opt into Search by himself.

The solution for this

Comments and Discussion How to disable tracker globally : Disabling tracker for globally (for all users) Edit /etc/xdg/autostart/trackerd.desktop file with root priviledges (sudo vim, gksudo gedit ...) Add "Hidden=true" to the end of the file Do the same for /etc/xdg/autostart/tracker-applet.desktop if you want - Gokdeniz Karadag

The file does not exist.

Code:ls /etc/xdg/autostart/tracker-*
/etc/xdg/autostart/tracker-extract.desktop
/etc/xdg/autostart/tracker-miner-fs.desktop
/etc/xdg/autostart/tracker-store.desktop
So I assume I simply prepend "Hidden=true" on these files, instead.

Is this about right? And why do I have to set it hidden instead of X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false. :scratch:

This seems counter-intuitive. I want to disable it, not hide that's enabled :rolleyes:
