Beagle, Evolution, and MS Exchange

Posted by Steve Carl at 2007-02-27 14:35
Hi Joe

What I know, and when I knew it.

I admit that calling out Beagle was circumstantial evidence. I got a call from the MS Exchange folks saying I was putting a beating on the MS Exchange server. That huge logs were being created.

I pondered it a bit, and decided that indexing of email via Beagle must be occuring. To test that theory I removed the Beagle-Evolution package.

At the exact same time, over on MS Windows, in MS Outlook I was running Google desktop. It was also looking at my email.

I disabled both of these, and the problem went away. I changed two variables, which is never good science, but the problem was gone.

The next thing that happened was that Beagle went nuts. Starting using all the CPU. A thread called Beagle-helper. And occasionally Beagle would abend, and when I let it collect the data, the symbols in the trace were empty, so I did not report anything. No poin tin wasting anyones time with an empty trace.

I had to get up and running, so I just removed Beagle in it's entirety.

Shortly after this, I came across a comment in an Ubuntu forum about why Beagle was not installed by default. All of this added together to tell me that I was on the right track. Not in banishing Beagle forever, but for right now.

I am more than happy however to do anything I can to try and help, so I will write you to see where to go next with the tracing. I am pretty sure I need to install a debuggin version to get the symbols you need.
