[opensuse] dbus-daemon and other stuff

2007-03-23 Thread jef peeraer
i've set up a server to be used as a TS for arround 30 users. it works 
great, but i have some minor issues . ( it's an opensuse 10.2 )


* i'll had to disable beagle, because it ate all my ram. is it possible, 
to let it run at night only, or when a user is logged out ?
* if i do a ps auxw, when all users are gone, i see a lot of these 
processes (arround 100 or more )

/usr/bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 4 --print-address 6 --session
my ps list is growing to large
* how do i disable sound completely
* i'll try to create a pipe for my syslog-ng, but i'll keep getting 
these permission errors, although the permissions seems correct

this is the pipe
prw-rw 1 root   root0 2007-03-23 23:44 
check_vigor_messages


these are the messages
Mar 23 23:44:38 jwt kernel: Kernel log daemon terminating.
Mar 23 23:44:39 jwt syslog-ng[20729]: syslog-ng version 1.6.11 going down

file /dev/tty10
Mar 23 23:45:05 jwt syslog-ng[20895]: Cannot open file 
/var/run/check_vigor_messages for writing (Permission denied)


for the rest, it's nice to see the server running with 30 persons 
working on it :-)

Which process is it?  If it's the beagle-build-index process, that's
the system-wide crawler that runs once a day.  Unfortunately the way
openSUSE works out of the box is to run that daily cron jobs are run
15 minutes after you first install the distro and then at that time
every day.  Since most of us install our machines in the middle of the
day, this is usually the *most* inconvenient time to run these jobs.
There was a bug open about that before, but I can't find it now.

Anyway, you can edit the /etc/sysconfig/cron file to set it to run in
the middle of the night, which I strongly recommend.  Remember to run
SuSEconfig afterward.

You should also upgrade to 0.2.16.3, in the openSUSE build service and
available from here:

   http://software.opensuse.org/download/Beagle/

which will use a lot less memory when building the indexes.

If it's the beagled or beagle-helper processes, these are the per-user
session processes which actually handle searches and index user data.
You can't run those while the user is logged out, but again the
updated version above will be much better behaved.  If it's still a
problem afterward, you can follow up by me privately and we'll see if
we can track down the issue.

Thanks,
Joe

I only noticed that setting on my third install.  Via Yast, System,
etc/sysconfig Editor, System, Cron, DAILY_TIME.  Here set the time you
want your daily cron jobs to run.  Works great.
 Remember to run
 SuSEconfig afterward.
This is done automatically if done through Yast.
