Disable or uninstall the Firefox extension for beagle (the dog icon on the firefox status bar).
OK, did that and that stopped it from indexing the webpages (sometimes the answer is too obvious :-) )... in the end though I ended up removing Beagle... again. It started driving my CPU between 60% and 100% over a couple of hours (long after it had done it's initial indexing of only a smallish /home)... to the point it was even making the system freeze up... on an AMD64 X2 6400+ with 4GB of RAM.... in some cases I even had a full lock up for 5 to 10 seconds. Stopped the daemon and removed Beagle... the CPU settled back down to it's usual idle state... no more problems. Oh well...
The use of Mono as the programming language makes me suspicious that it will never be a very good program. For one, Mono attracts the sorts of programmers who are most comfortable with a platform whose vendor sees bloat and peaked CPUs as nothing more than an opportunity for a sale when perfectly good hardware is needlessly replaced with newer hardware, rather than tidy up the code so that it runs efficiently. So, I'm not confident that Beagle will ever be a satisfactory product until someone decides to rewrite it in a language which is not so closely associated with bloat as a positive sales force. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
