My syslog is full of zeitgeist errors like this: org.gnome.zeitgeist.Engine ... DataInserter: destroyed with unflushed data... org.gnome.zeitgeist.Engine ... database is locked
It seems also to be causing problems with other applications: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunar/+bug/1514912 >From what I've read about zeitgeist it sounds like a good idea. I tried installing a gui for it once and learned that most applications I use don't report to it. It had scant information that was of use to me and the gui was pretty impotent. So there wasn't much I could do with it. Meantime, Zeitgeist seems to be causing problems and my system resources are very tight. I would rather just switch it off. But there is no obvious place for a user to do either of two very important things with this application: i) find out what it does; and ii) find out how to control it. It seems sensible to me to give the user control of it: at the very least so they can switch it on and off. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to zeitgeist in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1486445 Title: Lots of zeitgeist errors Status in Zeitgeist Datahub: Confirmed Status in zeitgeist package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: $ cat /var/log/syslog shows me lots of zeitgeist-related errors.
