Now, when I have resolved the akonadi issues, moving the executables, yet I found other similar crap, and it comes from gnome, and is the tracker-extract which uses a lot of cpu and memory, with about 10 proceses. I do'nt know if it was installed as a dependency of zeitgeist.
I prefer the old style of the findutils-locate, which is accesible via console.

I'm not sure of the exact connections between "zeitgeist" and "tracker" just yet, but you're right - like Akonaid / Strigi / Nepomuk, it's indexing certain parts of your filesystem the first time it comes up for something called a "semantic desktop". It should be suppressable for a LiveCD via standard GNOME configuration tools, though. It should come up on an *installed* system and index the first time the system boots.
sorry, but i think Akonaid and etc should launch on live systems both when and *if* the user wants such enough to click the buttons necessary to set it up to launch..
as it is, the new-to-linux crowd have no idea how to reclaim the snappiness they had with Windows (yep)! [survey the forums and note the multitude of questions like "What is eating my CPU?"]
of course, i just disable/uninstall the offenders and install findutils-locate.
anyway (imo) at very least a default cron should launch such speed-sinks some time (30 minutes?) after system startup, and it should be launched with nice, so that it actually is.
ymmv

I'd be happy to test / measure that on my 4 GB workstation if there's a chance that a "bug report" will be accepted. It's probably not going to show up as "oppressive" on my 8 GB laptop. But I wouldn't count on a "fix" making it into the 12.2 release unless it's a real bug, not just "slow on older systems". -- Twitter: http://twitter.com/znmeb Computational Journalism Server http://j.mp/compjournoserver Data is the new coal - abundant, dirty and difficult to mine. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
