I'm the main developer of Beagle, so I'm certainly interested to know why people turn it off. Is it a lack of necessity, is it a failure in user experience, is it misbehaving in some way (including CPU pegging or memory hogging)? This is all useful information to me, and I want to fix any bugs people come across.
My main issue is that I can not get it to run only on off hours. When it is running I am unable to use my machine for anything worth while. It hogs most memory and CPU usuage. I have problems with even the CLI.
I know a lot of people don't want to deal with debugging software, but especially in a community distribution I hope there are those who will help, rather than uninstalling it as a workaround for some issue.
The problem is how do you attempt to debug it when you can not even do CLI
while it is running. For example if I ssh to the box running beagle... I
am unable to get a connection. I am unable to mount or unmount a NFS
share from the machine. Only when beagle is running.
Thanks,
