Hi
I have installed Mandriva2011 which is cool,but just until nepomuk is disabled,but enabling nepomuk causes a CPU usage rise from below 10% to 100% and eventually system hanging and zombies! please help

Hi, go to the akonadi settings in system-settings and refine the directories you require scanning.

If this is supposed to be like "google-desktop", from way back when (2006/7) I haven't got it figured out how to use it. I disable it, but then again I don't have to keep track of academic reviews/research and papers for referencing (but I did back then).

I have found that if you only select the few folders you really require on a day to day basis, would be the equivalent to...

my documents
my pictures
my music
my videos.

That will help with the initial indexing and you might be able to run another program....

Last year i was using Mandriva2010 and i had spent a lot of time to develop that,but ...since i activated backup some(5) folders as: cron daily,cron hourly...were created which contained my home folder's files and folders and grew larger and larger(up to 35gig) such that the hard disk was full and at last i could not even boot up!
In the last weeks and days i tried to delete ,rename or remove them even by using root password in terminal but every time "permission denied" or "can not remove.."so i lost all my software!! because i had to format my hard disk.
About nepomuk i have noticed(using system monitor) that several instances of nepomuk act simultaneously each one using some CPU which causes a rise of CPU usage up to 100% this was not the same in the previous version(2010).
One more thing : Documents,picture,music,video folders are changing continuously and vastly in my PC(by myself) so what would be the use of indexing? to find files the "kfind" does it very easily ...typing "find" in the terminal so i do not feel any necessity about enabling nepomuk!(considering that disabling nepomuk mostly keeps my CPU usage below 10%) what is your idea?
Regards

Well, I think you have the answer, nepomuk is not useful to you/us. Probably more useful to those that "need to check your files anyway" (like the KGB and FBI). Just my opinion, Regards glenn
