https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=282678 Summary: easy way to disable beagle completely during installation Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 4plus Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: sven.burmeister@gmx.net QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Even when started with nice beagle (including the cron-job) can lead to serious performance issues on older hardware because of its CPU, RAM and harddisk usage, the latter two not being handled by nice AFAIK. 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. Advanced users might know how to enter the package-management and disable it, most do not and should not have to. A simple checkbox with a line of explanation that on older hardware and for those who do not need a desktop-search beagle can be disabled completely would suffice. 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. -- 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.
