Good news.
I just wonder - why does Google make some of their projects using Qt and other using Gtk?
Waiting for ebuilds  |

if that's true (didn't check the apps yet) - perhaps they don't want to take sides in the "war" going on between gnome and kde.

It's quick, it's ugly, but it seems to work - the ebuild i mean:

This is plain crap.
Use the ebuild from bgo, or use tracker

In fact: (a small transformation)

Indeed this is quite exaggerated - I moved it to /etc/cron.monthly/
And what's with the Firefox/Thunderbird-plugins? Should they be installed as well? Or aren't they necessary at all?

EDIT: I removed the cron-script completely for now since it uses "dpkg -i" for updating

Google Earth had been programmed in Qt before they bought it from Keyhole, so they stuck with that I suppose. Google Desktop was likely down in-house. |

Firefox plugin has to be installed to let Google Desktop index your browser history. It is not installed by current bugzilla ebuilds, but you can do it by hand. I don't know the good way to do it, but the way that somehow works:
| Code: | rikz@laptop ~ $ cp -R /opt/google/desktop/plugin/firefox/ googlesearch
rikz@laptop ~ $ cd googlesearch/
rikz@laptop ~/googlesearch $ zip -r ../googlesearch.xpi .
adding: chrome.manifest (stored 0%)
adding: components/ (stored 0%)
adding: components/libdesktop.so (deflated 60%)
adding: install.rdf (deflated 51%)
adding: firefox/ (stored 0%)
adding: firefox/chrome.manifest (stored 0%)
adding: firefox/components/ (stored 0%)
adding: firefox/components/libdesktop.so (deflated 60%)
adding: firefox/install.rdf (deflated 51%)
|
Then just open googlesearch.xpi with your firefox browser. It should install the plugin. However it must be installed by ebuild, and I hope future versions of ebuild will do it. |

Thanks for the explanation & the workaround!
I think I don't even need since I do not want my web history crawled anyway
Another question: is there a way to speed up the indexer? I googled around a bit but could not find anything useful ...

Compared to tracker, it is slow as hell. But compared to beagle, it at least doesn't knock down your box. So it is slow on indexing, but low on ressources.
I just tried it to see how it looks like, and deinstalled again
I hate desktop search things *g*

|

Ok - just an update to all who were wondering why the indexing went so incredibly slow: I managed to have running boinc which uses 100% of the cpu of course. This makes Google Desktop step back and idle much more then it normally would ... stopping boinc for a moment boosted indexing to lightning speed

I wont be installing anything of the sort even if it is from our Friendly Neighbourhood Google. I was contemplating at the thought but i dont want my HD crawled, and my browsing history.
Not that I have anything to hide
Just Privacy.
My dad has it on his windows comp. Nice little thing and idea though. Gota give them that. |

I really like some of the features of Google Desktop, especially the side bar (not yet included in the linux version) which is very handy for RSS feeds, among other things. The desktop search can be *very* helpful so I use that as well. I'm especially impressed by how little the system is impacted by the indexing (in contrast with Beagle, although still a hit on your system). I think this is a welcome addition to the GNU/Linux even though it would obviously be better as OSS and will need some development time before it is ready for regular use by the masses.

I am attempting to use this ebuild but get the following:
emerge google-desktop
Calculating dependencies -!!! Manifest file not found: '/usr/portage/app-misc/google-desktop/Manifest'
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "google-desktop" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- app-misc/google-desktop-1.0.1.0060 (masked by: corruption)
For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
I have this in my package.keywords:
=app-misc/google-desktop-1.0.1.0060 ~x86

Perhaps simply enter it as
app-misc/google-desktop ~x86
instead of giving it a particular version? |

You need to put it in the right directory into your own overlay, and the do "ebuild <ebuildfile.ebuild> manifest" before trying to emerge the ebuild.
If you don't know what I mean, read the gentoo documentation. Search for "using 3rd party ebuilds". |
