That sick puppy! (about beagle in opensuse 11.1)

English Applications
1

So I install newest opensuse (on my old ibm t40 laptop) and everything
seems to be working beautifully.

I leave that machine on for the night and start using it again in the
morning. And everything seems REALLY sluggish.

I check whats wrong, and found out that beagle daemon seems to be
misbehaving (badly)

Pic about how badly:

It sucks all the memory (physical and swap) and eats all the cpu time,
so I ended up disabling beagle completely and everything works again.

Anyone know whats causing it and how to fix it? (indexing would be
kinda nice to have, but cant enable it in its current form).

Thanks

As soon as you can go to YAST>Software Management type beagle in Search
then click to delete you don’t really need Beagle& Suse 11.1 will
function without it.

Yup, i already disabled beagle.

Would be kinda nice to know whats wrong with it though (its quite nasty
bug because it makes computer pretty much unusable)

It’s not a Bug it’s a Dog.

Dump it!

I’ve never understood the reasoning for putting in Beagle it’s totally
non-essential to function & no matter what Pc I used it slowed it down &
was completely useless as a file searcher.
I got a great suggestion for 11.2 & beyond Drop Beagle!!

That’s a bit harsh, think of all the people transferring from the latest
MS Windows :slight_smile:

What’s needed is a “bloatware” installation option to load all the
features equivalent to those that make MS Windows what it is, rather
than being the default :slight_smile:

If you need a desktop search that does not suck resources and is
lightning fast i strongly recommend ‘recoll’

I always remove Beagle within seconds of a new install. I absolutely
loathe that program, and have no idea why it keeps getting installed by
default in every version of OpenSuse when everyone hates it so much.

Did somebody’s wife write that program or something? And it can’t be
left out or hubby will have to sleep on the couch? That’s the only
explanation that sounds reasonable to me.

Hm, i dont remember that doggy screwing the system up in previous
versions of opensuse. (used suse from version 9, and had 11.0 on that
same laptop with no probs).

Well. I can live without it, so no biggie.

I also remove beagle after install completes. I was also told you can remove
strigi (desktop search) but I haven’t on my 11.0 yet and have not on the 11.1 I
