It dramatically reduced the efficiency of PC and I do not know any user what uses this feature (I maintain about 10 desktop PC with Linux and about 60 PC with Windows). I think, that speed of start of new installed PC is very important for acceptance by new users. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

It will be really very useful. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Even if it is only at the beginning, this "beginning" is the time a user measures the performance and snappyness of his new installation and obviously this "beginning" is not a fixed time-period but much longer on older hardware with less RAM and slower harddisks.

This to me is more of a problem with the way cron jobs are handled in SUSE than necessarily a Beagle thing[*]. The fact that daily cron jobs are run 15 minutes after the initial install is not a very good idea, IMO, because of the reason you gave: it's when the user measures the performance and snappiness of the installation. [*] (Not that I disagree with you about not installing Beagle on slower machines. Desktop search is probably untenable there in any case.)

I am not sure whether strigi will replace beagle for those that install KDE4 and whether strigi is as performance-hungry as beagle is, yet if so a more general checkbox would be the better solution that disables either of the two, depending which desktop is installed.

The bottom line of desktop search is the same, regardless of which system you use: it has to parse and extract information from essentially every single file on your system, or at least your home directory. This has extremely high overhead in terms of the disk (there's no getting around having to read the bytes off the disk) and in CPU usage (all those file formats have to be parsed). There are obviously tradeoffs to be made and in the end Strigi might be better suited to the task, but my suspicion is that if a system can't reasonably handle Beagle, Strigi probably won't fare much better. Conditional install based on system resources just makes sense. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
