I found some reference to a tool called beagle (desktop search tool akin to google desktop for linux). They suggest here http://www.beaglewiki.org/index.php/Installing%20Beagle that you can install this using the following commands: For users of SUSE 9.1, SUSE 9.2 and Novell Linux Desktop 9, snapshot packages of all Beagle requirements can be found on the segfault.cam.novell.com open carpet server. Simply type: # rug sa http://segfault.cam.novell.com/ # rug sub mdes unfortunately, rug is not installed on my system. So my questions are: 0) Is beagle actually useful ? 00) Is there an alternative tool that does not rely on mono/gtk-sharp 1) Are there beagle rpms (plus all the dependency crap I need) for suse 9.2 ? 2) Where can I get rug ? Also, reading a bit more on the page, I even need to install a kernel patch .. Any userland tool that requires a kernel patch to work sucks donkeys through straws in my experience .. so should I even embark [1] on this path [1] har har .. beagle, bark ... sheesh, I need more coffee I guess Kind regards, -- Gerhard den Hollander Phone :+31-10.280.1515 Global ICT manager Direct:+31-10.280.1539 Fugro-Jason Fax :+31-10.280.1511 gdenhollander@Fugro-Jason.com POBox 1573 visit us at http://www.Fugro-Jason.com 3000 BN Rotterdam JASON.......#1 in Reservoir Characterization The Netherlands This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the addressee.

1) Are there beagle rpms (plus all the dependency crap I need) for suse 9.2 ? 2) Where can I get rug ?
Both are available in the apt repositories. You can manually download the Beagle RPM from ftp.gwdg.de (the apt repository) and ALL the dependancies.... and there are a lot.... or you can use a package manager like Synaptic (GUI frontend for apt) or Red Carpet to install and manage the dependacies for you.

It uses inotify to work, so you need a kernel with inotify included for it to work. Your comment is a little like complaining that you need to patch in XFS into your kernel to make your xfs userland tools work.

OK, I wasn;t aware what inotify was (should have checked before I posted, I
know, see my coffee comment in the original post).
inotify indeed seems like a nice tool, and indeed something a tool like
this would need ...
The biggest downside of having a kernel with that enabled is that next time
round suse issues a kernel update, Ill ahve to find an inotify enabled
kernel update as well ;)

Or you might have some patience until 9.3 comes out, and save yourself from the suffering. 9.3 will have beagle in it.

Or get a kernel from the kernel-of-the-day directory on the ftp site. If I read the patches correctly, they have inotify in them

Just checked for 9.1 and it is not there.
2) Where can I get rug ?
It is part of the RedCarpet/OpenCarpet packages on the Novell server. ftp://ftp.novell.com/pub/ximian/redcarpet2 -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 * Only reply to the list please* "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge

And after all that trouble, I find that they only have i586 builds ;(
