How many times do we have to go over this? Find and locate only know about file names. Beagle indexes file content. And if you had the collection of meaninglessly named research papers I've accumulated in my work, you'd know that file names are no way to find anything.

Isn't "find" and "locate" serve all the searching purposes on the local PC ? Anybody can give usage cases for Beagle ? I created a document several months ago, along with a series of emails, that discussed a particular aspect of some project. I know that the project name was "saturn" so, I search for that word, and am presented a list of emails and documents that CONTAIN the word. The search also returns the saturn web page that I visited and some graphics that I had forgotten about. It also found a critical bit of information that I had put in a tomboy note, but would never have remembered. Perhaps I'm not as organized as you are --- but I really like this feature.

+1; Beagle is fabulous for this kind of work. If you have lots of *DATA* the uses for Beagle are innumerable. -- -- Adam Tauno Williams Network & Systems Administrator Consultant - http://www.whitemiceconsulting.com Developer - http://www.opengroupware.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Can you see what visited webpages contain your search term? Yes if you know where is cache, and few more things. Email search beyond subject and author. Few years of archives in a minute instead of hours. Search and indexing in background, that doesn't bring computer to halt, like it was was discussed in one of previous threads. Where it was cleared that actually find and update for man pages plus zmd start, at the same time was reason for poor computer performace on boot, not Beagle. -- Regards, Rajko. http://en.opensuse.org/Portal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Help I can not stop beagle!

rpm -e beagle and all dependent packages. Don't forget the firefox plugin which isn't a (RPM) dependency.

What I told Paul off-list is that there seems to be something in KDE (at least on 10.2) that is autostarting Beagle and not obeying the "Automatically start search and indexing" setting.

Help I can not stop beagle!

I have:

1) removed beagle from my system tray.

2) unchecked "start beagle indexing service automaticly" both from the beagle configure page and from control center \ kde componets \ desktop search

In spite of this everytime f*#king time I log in from xdm I get a process started like this: beagled /usr/lib/beagle/BeagleDaemon.exe --bg

It procedes to consume system resources!

I have to run beagle-shutdown to turn it off.

Is there anyway to stop the f*#ker from starting in the first place?

I do not want to remove the rpm's because I might want to run it some day.

Why is this not documented?

Please help me get rid of this turkey.

Partial answer: to disable beagle indexing systemwide:

from root edit the file :/opt/kde3/share/autostart/beagled.desktop

change the line: X-KDE-autostart-condition=kerryrc:Beagle:AutoStart:true

to:

X-KDE-autostart-condition=kerryrc:Beagle:AutoStart:false

beagle indexing does not start anymore for all users!

This is documented nowhere!

I still think that unchecking "start beagle indexing service automaticly" not working is a bug.

Or for a per-user solution without root access copy /opt/kde3/share/autostart/beagled.desktop to ~/.kde/share/autostart then make the same edit!
