having some problems with beagle

[Ludo <ludootje linux be>]

Hi all,

I'm having some problems running beagle on Debian unstable.

A couple hours ago, I still had Debian's beagle package installed,
version 0.2.6.
I had it indexing a dir called 'projects', in which I had (among many
others) a file called 'tldp/PHP-HOWTO.pdf' ('tldp' being a subdir, of
course). I ran beagle-search to and typed in 'php'. It found
conversations, IM discussions,... but no documents. I typed in
"php-howto.pdf", and it didn't find anything at all. I grepped
~/.beagled/Log for it, which reported this (beagled was running in
debugging mode, apparently):

<ludo dax ~/.beagle/Log> $ grep -RHi php-howto.pdf *
2006-06-22-08-05-31-Beagle:060622 0906210351 06048 Beagle DEBUG:

2006-06-22-08-05-31-Beagle:060622 0937592761 06048 Beagle DEBUG:

grep: current-IndexHelper: No such file or directory
grep: current-IndexHelperExceptions: No such file or directory

So it should've reported it, no?

Another problem I had with it: to shut it down, I had to do a "killall
beagled beagled-helper" three times. Running beagle-shutdown would
just hang and do nothing.

Now I downloaded 0.2.7 and compiled it from source (there's no Debian
package available yet). First, I tried it with
"--enable-googledriver", which resulted in this:

make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/beagle-0.2.7/Util'
sed     -e "s|\ prefix\@|/usr/local|g"                  \
              -e "s|\ sysconfdir\@|/usr/local/etc|g"          \

make[2]: *** No rule to make target `GoogleSearch.wsdl', needed by

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/beagle-0.2.7'
make: *** [all] Error 2


So I dropped the googledriver, and compiled it. It worked fine. After
a make install, I tried running it:

<ludo dax /usr/src/beagle-0.2.7> $ beagled --fg --debug
Debug: Starting Beagle Daemon (version 0.2.7)
Debug: Running on Mono 1.1.13.6
Debug: Command Line: /usr/local/lib/beagle/BeagleDaemon.exe --fg --debug
Debug: Established a connection to the X server
Debug: Starting main loop
Debug: Starting messaging server

And that's where it stays. Running beagle-search works, but when I
type in a keywords, it doesn't do anything, it just hangs. If I
minimize the window and show it again, it's completely white.

Here's the output from the log files:

This isn't just the last startup. I ran it first without '--fg
--debug', but since it didn't work, I killed it (which, as you can
see, I had to do a few times).

I really hope someone can help me out here! I love what I've seen from Beagle
until now, and it seems like something *really* useful.

Thanks,
Ludo
