When a 10.3 system is installed, by default some things are set up that will result in a daemon or some other agent occasionally waking up and getting very busy. These activities can impact other running applications. I am hoping to make a list of these so that I can (1) decide if I need them and (2) figure out how to disable them. With full understanding that I live with whatever mess I create. My use for this is in a measurement system that probably does not need whatever these applications are doing. It definitely does not want the system sluggishness they sometimes create.
So, here is a start at my list:
opensuseupdater
updatedb
Roger, It is pretty simple. Just right-click opensuseupdater in the sys tray, choose quit and then click "do not start on login" (or something similar). This will disable online update from running every time you login and stop the automaitc refresh of all repositories. This is no big deal, I run that way. Just remember you must manually do the yast->online update once in a while. Depending on whether you use Beagle search index, you will also want to either (1) disable Beagle in control center, or (2) remove it completely with "rpm -e $(rpm -qa | grep beagle) kerry" from the command line as root. After making those two modifications, you will not experience any more slowdown during the first 5-10 minutes after login. Online update and beagle are the problems. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
