Still being hit with this bug on Trusty. Some digging into zeitgeist's source shows that it gets the application info from the *.desktop file using glib's GDesktopAppInfo https://developer.gnome.org/gio/2.33/gio-Desktop-file-based-GAppInfo.html#g-desktop-app-info-new
Reading the info from the above URL and using konsole.desktop again as the example, zeitgeist will only find konsole.desktop if it is renamed kde4-konsole.desktop. Another solution is to create a symlink named /usr/share/kde4 that points to /usr/share/applications/kde4 and add /usr/share/kde4 to XDG_DATA_DIR desktop env. variable at login. ** Description changed: - Using Saucy 13.10, when using KDE applications launched from the Dash, - they do not show up as 'Recently used' neither in the Home or - Applications lenses. + Using Saucy 13.10 and Trusty 14.04, when using KDE applications launched + from the Dash, they do not show up as 'Recently used' neither in the + Home or Applications lenses. Seems zeitgeist or the information presented to it cannot get the path to the KDE application's *.desktop file. Using 'konsole' as a KDE application example: ~ $ /usr/libexec/zeitgeist-fts --log-level=DEBUG ** (zeitgeist-fts:28799): DEBUG: zeitgeist-fts.vala:106: got insertion notification ** (zeitgeist-fts:28799): DEBUG: Indexing event with ID: 6382 ** (zeitgeist-fts:28799): WARNING **: Unable to get info on application://konsole.desktop This happens because 'konsole.desktop' resides in /usr/share/applications/kde4/konsole.desktop If I symlink or copy 'konsole.desktop' to /usr/share/applications/konsole.desktop, then everything works as it should, zeitgeist index's the event correctly and Konsole shows under 'Recently used' for Home and Applications lenses. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1251915 Title: Dash + zeitgeist does not log use of KDE applications for 'Recently used' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1251915/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
