缘起
用ubuntu快一年了,经常喜欢打开System Monitor查看内存占用比例,有些程序比如Chrome,WPS以及Evince确实很占内存,但是有一次看到一个莫名其妙的进程zeitgeist-fts占了100多MB的进程,感觉很不爽,但不知道它是干什么的,不敢乱Kill,万一是系统中一个重要的服务,一旦杀死了,系统崩溃了怎么办。有一次实在,忍不住了,就将其杀死了,发现什么事情都没有发生,系统照用没有任何问题。于事我google一下zeitgeist-fts proccess。在Askubuntu中发现了问题的答案,以下是对其一些翻译。
正文
Askubuntu中关于zeitgeist-fts的问题是" 'zeitgeist-fts' always using a lot of memory! "
Zeitgeist is a service which logs the users’s activities and events, anywhere from files opened to websites visited and conversations. It makes this information readily available for other applications to use in form of timelines and statistics. It is able to establish relationships between items based on similarity and usage patterns by applying data association algorithms such as “Winepi” and “A Priori”
Zeitgeist is the main engine and logic behind GNOME Activity Journal which is currently seen to become one of the main means of viewing and managing activities in GNOME version 3.0.
