[opensuse] beagled-helper
How do I get rid of beagled-helper? It's chewing up the CPU and making the laptop hot enough to fry eggs. I have uninstalled beagle (in fact, the only package with "beagle" in the name is libbeagle, and it looks as if the whole world depends on that package. Help!

The dog is easy to kill. It is the first thing I do on my running systems. Go into Yast > System > System Services (runlevel) Click on the "Service" tab. You should see beagled there chewing up your resources like old bones. Kill it by clicking disable. To permanently rid yourself of the rabid dog, go into your favorite software management tool. Search for beagle. De select (if selected) beagle, beagle-gui and kio-beagle. That should get rid of the cursed beast forever from your system, which will now increase in performance threefold.

I had looked there, but it apparently hadn't been running as a service, as it didn't show up in the list of services.

Well, I had done that (as I thought I had tried to convey in my original post), but although those beagle packages were gone, the beagled-helper process was still running. I finally got desperate and just killed it. Don't think I've ever come across a package manager (outside of MS Windows, that is) which didn't stop the processes belonging to a package being removed. Strange. -- Bob Kline http://www.rksystems.com mailto:bkline@rksystems.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Well, at least you were able to get rid of it. I wish they'd ask at install if you want it running. On my desktop I di remember to deselect it prior to install in the advanced tab. Solved a host of issues. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yeah, it won't show up there because it's a per-user service (like D-BUS or gnome-session or kinit) and not a system-wide one. There are different ways to enable or disable startup programs depending on whether you're running GNOME or KDE.

beagle-shutdown will shut down both the main daemon process (beagled) and the indexer (beagled-helper). But if you're not interested in running it, killing it is fine. You'll probably also want to delete ~/.beagle, as that's where the indexes are stored. If beagled-helper was stuck, that's a bug that's likely fixed, and an update might help.

It's fairly common for RPM not to kill per-user processes, and I don't really know what the SUSE packaging policy is for this. You might want to file a bug and I'll look into fixing it.
