Re: Beagle

Have you tried building beagle with the non-cvs gmime package installed?  I've got that package, and beagle built without any problems..

well, actually he should have on the gmime package we ship with regular updates, this PKGBUILD is rephrasing a couple of pathes to reflect Arch's layout of mono in /opt/mono.

I'm pretty sure if he applys this changes to the cvs package - whtever it looks like currently -  he will get a running beagle package finally. I just wonder what's that killer feature that makes you using cvs version of it.

Re: Beagle

Ok, well if gmime from the cvs isn't required then no big deal.  I went ahead and grabbed gmime from the repos.  I also needed to get perlxml and zip which also seem to be requirements.  Once beagle was finished building I installed it with pacman.

I ran the beagled --fg --debug command but it failed.

viniosity@archer ~]$ beagled --fg --debug
INFO: Starting Beagle Daemon (version 0.0.9)
DEBUG: Command Line: /opt/gnome/lib/beagle/BeagleDaemon.exe --debug --fg
DEBUG: Initializing D-BUS
FATAL: Couldn't connect to the session bus.  See http://beaglewiki.org/index.php/Installing%20Beagle for information on setting up a session bus.
FATAL: Unable to determine the address of the message bus

I believe I have dbus running since there is output when I do a ps ax |grep dbus:

 5695 ?        Ss     0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon-1 --system
24857 ?        Ss     0:00 dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 8 --print-address24900 pts/0    S+     0:00 grep dbus

but probably my environment isn't set correctly since the output of export|grep DBUS shows nothing.  Any pointers on where to go from here?  So close..

Re: Beagle

Try a newer beagle release - I believe the dbus dependency was removed in version 0.0.10 (the latest version is 0.0.11, which I'm running without any problem).

Edit: If you want to try that older version, I believe adding

exec dbus-launch gnome-session

to your .xprofile might help.

Re: Beagle

That worked -- beagle is launching now but there are two issues:

1. suddenly acpi won't start.. don't know if this is related or not but I can't think what else it could be?

[root@archer ~]# /etc/rc.d/acpid start
:: Starting acpid                                                        [BUSY] acpid: can't open /proc/acpi/event: Device or resource busy
                                                                         [FAIL]

2. when I run beagle-status it goes on and on and on.. it's been indexing for like 5 hours and seems to be doing the same stuff over and over again.  Should I upgrade to 0.11?

Re: Beagle

I'm having the same problem after installing beagle yesterday - acpi won't start.

I'm afraid I can't help you with this, I haven't got acpi installed.

Do you mean you get output like this, that keeps on refreshing (count increases, .. )?

Scheduler:
Count: 187
Next task in 5.40 seconds
Status: Waiting for next task.
1 Generator 0
File System Crawler
Trigger in 4.33 seconds
last=/home/..., uncrawled=611, dirty=543)

and so on...

I think that's normal behaviour, 'though I never checked with the 0.09 release.

Re: Beagle

I upgraded to beagle 0.11.1.  I think all the background stuff is normal.. it's just a bit of a resource hog.. takes up around the same mem and cpu as X.  Hopefully that gets better as this moves from alpha.  FYI I was able to change the version number in the pkgbuild and re-run to get the new version..

Regarding the ACPI thing I think it's unrelated to beagle.  My guess is that when I did a pacman -Suy before starting the makepkg something in Arch broke acpi.  Here is a bug:

k-dub: you should comment on the thread so that the devs know it's not an isolated incident.

Re: Beagle

Looks like the acpi bug is solved BTW.. you have to change your rc.conf to load acpid before hal and dbus.  I tried it and it worked for me. 

Also, a tip to the beagle users -- you have to enable logging in gaim if you want beagle to pick up those conversations.  It takes about 30 seconds though.. I wonder if inotify will make it into a future kernel?

Re: Beagle

Inotify is in the kernel26mm package.

Re: Beagle

Isn't inotify going to be enabled by default in the 2.6.12 kernel, by the way?

Edit: Apparently it is   And beagle is awesome with inotify..
