[Bug 718427] Re: recoll slows system to a crawl

2015-01-21 Thread Jean-Francois Dockes
@romano: did you check the recollindex process size when the problem occurred ? Paging/swapping would have been the most probable explanation for what you were seeing. It seems unlikely that ordinary I/O from the ioniced recollindex could cause problems, but eviction of your applications memory

Hi, All: what recoll version are you running ? The indexer is niced and ioniced in recent versions, not the GUI, but it does not do any significant work (except possibly during an actual search). Depending on the recoll version, one thing to try would be to configure down the number of threads

By the way, how can I reduce the number of threads of the recollindex? Short answer: adjust thrTcounts in config file. See http://www.lesbonscomptes.com/recoll/usermanual/usermanual.html#RCL.INSTALL.CONFIG.RECOLLCONF.IDXTHREADS or the comments in the default recoll.conf in

2013-07-13 Thread Jean-Francois Dockes
Just for the record: Recoll only uses python:epub for indexing epub files. Recoll uses pdftotext from the poppler-utils package to index PDFs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1200717

Hi, python-recoll is a separate package in Debian and Ubuntu, but it is included in the base recoll package on the PPA. I (the PPA maintainer) will probably fix this when I get the time. Meanwhile, you do not need to install python-recoll from the standard repositories if you have the PPA package

[Bug 1086879] [NEW] [needs-packaging] recoll-lens

2012-12-05 Thread Jean-Francois Dockes
Public bug reported: recoll-lens is a Unity Lens for searching the Recoll full-text index. Recoll itself is packaged for Debian, so it is in Ubuntu too, but the lens makes no sense in Debian so it needs independant packaging. The lens package already exists in a PPA: https://launchpad.net

Hi, I just released recoll 1.17.3 which fixes an email indexing crash, hopefuly the same as yours. The packages on the recoll PPA will be updated when the build servers get to it, it would be nice if you could try 1.17.3 and tell if it fixes your crash. jf -- You received this bug

If you want to try out the Lens, make sure that you have the 1.17.1 package from the PPA (should be default), it has a small Lens-related improvement. The GUI will still say 1.17.0 (known fixed bug). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is

2012-05-04 Thread Jean-Francois Dockes
Hi, I'm the Recoll developer. Does the crash reoccur if you restart indexing ? At the same place ? Were you doing something else with the GUI apart from indexing when it crashed (1.16 was a bit touchy about this) ? Can you reproduce this with the recollindex command line program or is it only

2012-04-06 Thread Jean-Francois Dockes
FYI there are many problems with the current unrtf. Recoll has a tendancy to unearth them because it runs unrtf on many files. There is an updated but unofficial version of unrtf along the Recoll source repository: https://bitbucket.org/medoc/unrtf-int You can find a source tarball here:
