The root of the problem seems to be, that all homes are on nfs and users
are allowed to login multiple times on
the same box (e.g. localhost:0 and localhost:2 (F9))

I'm gone to the "root" of the problem for a bugreport:

If you - or anybody with this problem - could figure out why this
occurs, e.g. what file it indexes, and create a bug report such that
others can reproduce it, it would be really great!

Good idea, the thread got too long already, and probably there won't be 
a perfect solution[tm].

Besides that, I propose to have a separate pattern for beagle and all 
its related packages (pattern title: "Desktop search").
This way, it would be easy for everybody to choose if he wants to 
install beagle or not.

And no, I won't vote for or against beagle here ;-)

That's nice to hear, thanks!

This is the part from changelog I like best:

It would be very interesting to see what stops it running since it works

Yep, I've read it differently :(

BTW I've noticed that it indexes fewer file formats than GDS (which is

Over here Beagled uses 0.7 % CPU, and 0.1% Memory.
You do not even notice it is there.

I agree with all those people about the start index with beagle, is
realy disastrous.
It is such a drag, not to be able touse the mouse.. :-(
But if all is indexed, it just has to keep up with what is added to it..

It might be not  bad idea, to give beagle only to work in the
background, and full, when no other activity is present, like 'away from
pc', no mouse movements for 'x' minutes, like screensaver..
But whenever the user moves, it must imediately stop the activities, and
go low profile.
I find it amazing to see, how fast, and the kind of info it comes with...
I think it is a usefull toy, and not only for them who have 'all their
files organised'.. like me.. ;-)

My gripes with beagle are just two:
1) It tends to use quite a lot of disk space (at least during its
   initial run) even it the disk is almost full, resulting in 100%
   disk usage.
2) It runs even when my laptop is running on battery shortening battery
   life.

I don't think that either point is something that most users have
problems with/care about so my solution to my problems was:
I removed all beagle packages from my system and added *beagle* to
/etc/zypper/locks.
I'm running factory.

Not to sound a discordant note, but I found that with google desktop
running, thunderbird (and some other apps I can't recall off hand) would
not start. Once I saw that stopping google desktop fixed the problem, I
didn't troubleshoot further due to lack of time/interest.

It could well be that you are not nearly as demanding of your computer
as other are. For some of us, having the computer go comatose for a few
hundred milliseconds is absolutely unacceptable, while you might not
even notice.

Those who do multimedia or gaming, especially, are the type who will
most likely find beagle an unacceptable drag on performance and remove it.

Those who use the computer only for less demanding tasks, such as
reading email, browsing the web or writing the occasional document, may
not see any problem with beagle and wonder what all the fuss is about.

I think there are some beagle bugs, possibly triggered by certain file
types or file system layout, that cause beagle to spin out of control. 
I have two boxes running 10.3.  One of them runs beagle all the time,
and I don't notice it.  If I did notice it, I would certainly disable it
because this laptop is my main system and I don't really even use beagle
that much.  On the other box running 10.3, whenever I reboot I'm quickly
reminded to go shut down beagle because the fans on that box will crank
up and make lots of noise as beagle is stuck at 99% CPU usage (even if
left running overnight).

This would be very interesting (at least to me).  the problem with
Beagle that some of us are having could very well be down to
perception... myself included.  Maybe there is a clue in there that
can be used to change the default behavior of Beagle... like for
example to limit it's indexing particularly immediately after
install... and so on...

Ooops, I said I wasn't going to send any more messages on this topic :-)

The problem is that this whole Beagle-debate that we had in the early
days quickly turned into a question of belief. Some swear Beagle is the
root of all evi... ah, slowness, some don't see what the fuss is all
about. 

And we have/had the 'initial indexing' problem where people deinstall
Beagle directly after installation which of course gives them a
speed-up. But they (so is my opinion) would have experienced the same if
they'd just waited it out.

So, agreeing with Rajko M., unless a credible source provides benchmarks

Before this goes on and on like the opensuse@ thread, I propose that I
(being someone interested in the beagle decision and somewhat
responsible for its packaging) put together a summary of the issues
real/perceived, known bugs and a list of the options.  I should be able
to do this sometime next week.

One note is that there really hasn't been a precedent for discussing
distro changes like this in public, its generally been up to "the powers
that be" - either the team leads or developers at Novell for various
components or coolo/aj to make this decision so this is kind of a
change.

No, that is correct.  The solution will be accomplished by those
having problems bug reporting and providing substance.  All the debate
in the email forums only heightens tempers and leads to frustrated
rants.

Report the bugs and affect a remedy!

ps:  I have three machines, 10.1 and 2 10.3, w/o *any* problems.

I really don't understand that.  My experience with Beagle has always
been negative.  Everyone I know (personally, not through mailing
lists) who runs openSUSE also has the same experience.  I was chatting
with a friend yesterday about his computer.  He mentioned that he had
installed openSUSE10.3 about 2 weeks ago, and was commenting on the
performance... how frustratingly slow it was at times.  I suggested
(from my own experience) that he stop and/or remove Beagle and see of
that made any difference.  He removed it and immediately the computer
started working better. This was after Beagle was running for about 2
weeks.  This fits in with my personal experiences... even after more
than enough time for it to index.  Same issue with my brother's
computer.. an install with at least a week up constant uptime and he
was having performance issues... especially while gaming... all
resolved by removing Beagle.

Now.. if that was consistent for everyone, it would point to a problem
with Beagle, but there are people here saying it works great, and they
can't imagine being without it.

We have a group on one side who have real issues with Beagle... and on
the other, a group who have no issues at all.  The group who find it
kills all system performance want it removed.. or at the very least,
an opt-in option at install... the others think we're crazy... that
we're whining... that we're trolling etc. It's a no win situation.

I don't know what else to say... and I won't keep commenting here
beyond this email... I'm willing to give Beagle a try now and then...
as I do with all software included in the default install.  I don't
hate it.. I don't love it either.  What I would like to understand is
why there is a significant number of us that have real issues with it
when it runs... even after a reasonable time for indexing... even when
using the latest build... or at least the build that came with the
10.3 release ISOs.

It's something I can't solve personally... nor will it be resolved
with endless debates on the mailing lists.

Again, I strongly doubt that; few people are properly organized (I'm
not), otherwise Google Desktop wouldn't be the success it is.

If responsiveness and speed are the only qualities we are looking for in
a distribution, then we should throw out Tomboy first because it slows
down startup of GNOME considerably - oh yeah; and GNOME main-menu.

Don't misunderstand me, I love Tomboy - but please understand that your
own usage of a computer might not be the typical case. And, as said,
there are features in openSUSE which have a much more negative impact on
machine responsiveness than Beagle.

Ultimately you have to decide whether you want a feature-oriented
distribution or a slim and speedy distribution. SUSE has always tended
to be feature-oriented, and that is why I am using it.

Greets,
Chris

I would think very few people using Opensuse on the desktop either at work or

Someone that knows about search tools and required properties should create 
benchmarks or anything like that. 

We had almost endless discussion in [EMAIL PROTECTED] with bunch of 
opinions, and even google search results that should confirm that beagle is 
nasty resource hog. That contradicts my experience, but except taking under 
loop google results, where it showed mix of obsolete articles and opinions, I 
had no much tools to prove my point that beagle is not a problem, at least 
not in that many cases. 

I can agree that Beagle is development version, with bugs that can make it 
chase its tail, but I really can't see, in last couple of months, that it 
hogs resources. I had literally no 99% CPU usage where beagle would be the 
culprit, so I can't confirm any claim that tells so. 

What is needed is some comparative study, with numbers that will describe real 
situation.

Apple users, for example, just _know_ that their search-tool (Sherlock

I think removing Beagle would mean a serious regression.

you should issue a bug report.

I use beagle and appreciate it.  I see very little resources utilized
and have only had occasional problems where I have stopped beagle,
killed all the helper pid's and restarted beagle.  Then it is fine.  I
have only had to do this twice in the last 5-6 months, iirc.

So do I.
I would prefer not install it as default. Who know what it is and
wants it, he/she can install it additionally.
IMHO Now it consumes cpu + mem on every newly installed machine and
very few people really use it.

Beagle is a daemon that crawls and indexes documents on your harddrive,
so you can search them very quickly.

Similar programs are:

Is a bug filed in our bugzilla.mozilla.org about this missing

Yes Joe. 
I would like to have some mix between 2 desktops, but there is too many 
differences to make easy switch between them. 

GIMP is my favorite, so there is already plenty of GNOME installed, and  there 
is no problem. Hard disks are large nowadays.

I tried some other gnome packages and they require lesser. 
For instance metacity:
 metacity bundle-lang-gnome-en

Hmm... It seems that the rest of GNOME desktop is already installed.

If would know easy way I would probably walk little bit further to find a 
culprit. Looking in the /var/log/zypper.log even after extraction of 
yesterdays logs is not viable option (3 MB) for me.

I'm not really sure why all these additional packages are necessary.
I am guessing you are a KDE user though. :)

The only explicit dep beagle-thunderbird has is on MozillaThunderbird.
 It does require beagle-gui though, because Thunderbird has no way to
display an addressbook contact externally, and the tool to do that
lives in beagle-gui.

beagle-gui, in turn, only explicitly requires gconf-sharp2,
glade-sharp2, glib-sharp2, gtk-sharp2.  These are all only Mono
bindings for GNOME libraries, and shouldn't require bringing in things
like gnome-desktop, gnome-main-menu, metacity, etc.

So I think there is something else wrong in the chain here at a lower
level in the GNOME stack.  Is there a way with zypper to see why
dependencies are being pulled in?

Right now, i am feeling like uninstalling also, but B in 10.1 was worse
than this one...( works in the background more, less cpu usage..)

Thnx;-)
Keeps most of it in your /home, in hidden files ofcourse..
( i noticed that is impossible to make a back-up with beagle running in
FF..had to shut it down indeed..)

Very usefull indeed! ;-)

I also discovered that the cause might be: ext3 > fat32, in which is
deleting from pc, instead right off the networkdrive even slower than
comparing(!)(it is still deleting, while the new copy is ready for
at least 20 minutes... have too look into this!)

I now copied my home, which gets a little too fat if you ask me: 6,3 GB,
to an existing Reiserfs partition somewhere on another drive, which took
just a few minutes..:-)

You can just type "man manual" in a terminal and read there, but this
link provides you some useful hint to do backups:

http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/


You might consider also Unison, which is another tool to synchronise

Both the tools can use the network to synchronise, by means of SSH.

Is it cmd?
Is it standard in openSUSE?
Is there a manual?

I am not yet used to the huge amounts of data in a home dir ;-(
So i use something like Krusader, but it is so damn slow, one thinks it
stopped.

Second, i store on a networkdrive, with samba on it, using fat32...since
i got one, but i am not able to get nfs on it (can not get into set-up,
firmwareprotected) which would make a lot of things a lot easier..

Synchronising did not work:-(
I am now throwing the old back-up away, (which also takes too much
time!) to just copy my home again...
lost my whole afternoon.
I have to rearrange my partitions: /var and /usr are running out of
space very quick, and my /boot is still too small...

so i have too get rid off my old config, and start brandnew, with
updated 'needed space info' ;-)

This realy slows down the proces...

What do you use to synchronize? I do my backups with rsync, and
excluding the first sync/copy, it's pretty fast.
