11.1 CPU 100% when PC is idle

English Install/Boot/Login
1

I’ve searched for what I’m experiencing but can’t find any hits. I did a clean install from the GNOME Live CD. When my PC sits idle for a few minutes (about 5) the CPU goes to 100% and stays there still I touch a key, mouse etc…

Every time it’s 3 processes in this order and approximate CPU utilization

beagled - about 35%
dbus-deamon - about 30%
hald - 13%

the next processes are gnome-system-monitor (5%) and then X (4%)…but they always consume about this much.

The moment I touch a key those top three fall off the charts.

Beagle is consuming a lot of resource. If you don’t want to use desktop search, simple uninstall it, or use Google desktop search instead.

Check in, I believe, the ‘applications’ forum and search for ‘beagle’ or
‘beagled’ to find how to disable it. Beagle is really neat, but it’s
also a pig at times and should be customized to only search what you
want it to search so it doesn’t go crazy, especially if you have a big
home directory.

Good luck.

Thanks for the quick responses, think Beagle is a goner.

Is it possible that after an initial install that when idle Beagle does fast indexing until finally complete (I’ve only had 11.1 installed for 2 days)? I did uncheck the ‘fast indexing while screen saver’ option and now I never see it above 2 or 3% CPU.

It’s rubbish and contributes to global warming.

I’ve got exactly the same problem. Solved by kill Beagle. It’s really goner.

I ran into the same problem, and cause my screen to freeze. So, what i did to fix this problem, is remove ~/.beagle directory.

OK, but you still have Beagle. And if you create a new account Beagle will start again there. In the the directory .beagle just the configuration files for the current user.
