[SOLVED] Indexing wasting all the memory? - Page 3

twobob · 10-04-2013, 09:56 AM

Found out that the system "thought" I should see some on screen pop-up.
Which I couldn't. Probably I mangled it. :P

hfpop · 10-04-2013, 10:36 AM

So, does this search index rename work all right?

twobob · 10-04-2013, 10:49 AM

All I know I posted above.

Seems like a full restart isn't a terrible idea after the deed is done.

I merely renamed my folder and then made a blank file with the relevant name.
One could always swap it back via USB FAT mount in the event of some unforeseen side effect.

Now thats a topic I like! Even days from getting my first kindle, I already hate the indexer

Have anyone tried on PW2, this is the thing I'll get soon (tm)?

Can confirm that it's working on the Paperwhite. Just delete the system/Search Indexes directory, and create a system/Search Indexes file instead. The only effect that I found so far is that it fills the log with error messages whenever it tries to index something, but that's not really an issue. And it's not happening often, either - as far as I can tell, only when a new book is added and when the device goes into screensaver mode.

PS: I assume that it will be working on the PW2 too.

Cool!

Tried that on Touch, did reboot... everything seems to work, no explostions, nothing...

A friend of mine will be happy about it. He has more than 1000 books on his device and this is driving him creazy (weel, it's one of the things at least).

Nice

I still didn't manage to switch into a kernel of my own building via qemu.
Damn thing "fails to start" every time. Debian Wheezy it is until such a time.

I think this little trick deserves a guitar solo:

Aeris · 10-06-2013, 11:01 AM

or a theremin solo

(and my favourite "not-solo" theremin track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2tbdsblDFo)

I think this thread can be flagged as [SOLVED] now

I think this statement of twobob should be used as a bumper sticker by all diehard members of this forum..

I too applied the procedure.. no ill effects seen..
Don't have much books.. less than a 100..
And.. I do read some of them..

Don't worry twobob. I'm still tweaking a few things here and there. Once it's settled I'll post about it.

Akirainblack · 10-08-2013, 05:25 AM

Thus far only 1 odd occurrence for me. My Paperwhite lost my place in a book.
That said it may have been due to me messing around with books on the device, purposefully trying to make it go wrong.

twobob · 10-08-2013, 09:44 AM

Since we are all abusing things..
Here's a little abuse I did earlier...

A simply great "Cover Cut" for your next album.

Since we are abusing this thread anyway,
Possibly the best statement about road tours:
