I'm not a big friend of the idea to allow someone else than the daemon itself modify config files like datasources.(pickle|json), because this would require the daemon to watch-out for changes to all config files it and its extensions are using.
libzeitgeist and the datahub should instead defer any communication to the daemon until before the first event is inserted, e.g. the datahub should register itself as a datasource only once it inserts the first event. This doesn't necessarily solve the initial issue of this bugreport (zg slowing down login time) but it's a start. In a next step we have to make sure that the datahub inserts events as late as possible, *not during session login*. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Zeitgeist Framework Team, which is subscribed to Zeitgeist Framework. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/772265 Title: The datahub starts zeitgeist-daemon on startup Status in Zeitgeist Client Library: New Status in Zeitgeist Framework: New Status in Zeitgeist Datahub: New Bug description: We have been advising distros put zeitgeist-datahub into the autostart section for the sessions. This is better in theory because this way we only start a native daemon on login and can defer the launching of the heavier Python process zeitgeist-daemon. Unfortunately zeitgeist-datahub does DBus activation of the zeitgeist- daemon on startup so we really don't get the benefits we wanted. Bootcharts from Ubuntu 11.04 indicates that ZG eats about 1s on the login time and I don't think that is acceptable for ZG in the longer run. That is - no catastrophe for 11.04, but we should fix this. (a related issue seems to be that the dbus activated zeitgeist-daemon seems to launch another datahub instance that then immediately becomes a zombie... ? :-/) _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~zeitgeist Post to : zeitgeist@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~zeitgeist More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
