If I monitor session and system dbus activity with dbus-monitor I can see activity if I do “tracker search pdf” as the mdssvc user, but nothing if I search through Samba. I only get those two errors below. So seems like Samba dbus connection isn’t working. I’ve followed the wiki very closely so to me it looks like it’s missing a step or the latest versions have some issue. I tried raising the logging level, but it doesn’t really show anything more specific.
