Beagle isn't indexing anything


I installed Beagle today, started the dameon a few hours ago (with export=BEAGLE_EXERCISE_THE_DOG=1, I might add), but it hasn't done anything. I still can't search using Best. It won't find anything.

Also, here's what I got frpm beagle-info --index-info

[testaccount@simons ~]$ beagle-info --index-info
Index information:

Name: IMLog
Count: 0

Name: Blam
Count: 0

Name: Liferea
Count: 0

Name: Mail
Count: 0

Name: Tomboy
Count: 0

Name: IndexingService
Count: 0

Name: Google
Count: -1

Name: EvolutionDataServer
Count: 0


[testaccount@simons ~]$

So, what is wrong? I installed via yum, so there aren't any missing dependencies.

Hmm, maybe you can try:
Code:
beagle-status
Maybe it just isn't indexing, so let's check that.

I have the precise same problem. With the exception that it indexes some files, sometimes. That is, if I kill the daemon and restart it, it might index a few files and then stop again.

Here's a snip from beagled --fg --debug

Code:
Starting task Crawling /home/nightfrost/Documents/Adobe
DEBUG: *** What should we do with /home/nightfrost/Documents/Adobe?
DEBUG: *** Doing nothing to /home/nightfrost/Documents/Adobe
DEBUG: worker added: name=HandleConnection (23) refcount=1

DEBUG: worker added: name=HandleConnection (24) refcount=1
DEBUG: worker removed: name=HandleConnection (24)
DEBUG: Done sending request
DEBUG: Finished task Crawling /home/nightfrost/Documents/Adobe in .06s
And it just repeats like that...

Any ideas?

I'm having the same symptoms - beagle won't index anything, event with BEAGLE_EXERCISE_THE_DOG=1 set.

It starts up, says that inotify isn't enabled (which it is, but it says I need a 2.6.13 kernel with inotify, and I have a 2.6.12 kernel with inotify), apparently starts some crawlers, and then generates an unhandled exception.

Here's the output from beagled --fg --debug:

$ beagled --fg --debug

Anyone find a solution to this yet?

I saw at the documentantion that the filesystem must be mounted with the option user_xattr
check that also if it isn't at the /etc/fstab add it then unount it and remound it.
Hope that this could be the solution

nope, I got that setup okay I think:

/dev/hda4 on /home type reiserfs (rw,noatime,user_xattr)

PS: can I just use tags to create "code" and "quote" sections in here? (my first day )

Okay, I'm getting some indexing done now.

I passed "--allow-backend Files" to beagled, and now it's indexing! So the problem I was having must be with a particular backend. I'm going to try a few different ones now to try and pin down the one that was causing the problem.

Hope this helps someone.

I found the backend that was causing me problems - it was IMLog.

Now I need to figure out why my queries aren't returning results.

Beagle seems to play a lot better with gnome than it did with kde. Also I created a little script beagled.sh

Code:
#!/bin/bash
exec beagled
Then I ran gnome-session-properties and added the script. Now beagled starts up on gnome startup.

I also pointed firefox at the beagle extension at "file:///usr/lib/beagle/beagle.xpi" so that beagle now indexes all the web pages I visit.

For what it's worth, I can just say that I'm no longer having problems with beagle after upgrading to version 0.1.0... just in case you guys haven't done that
