Public bug reported:
The end result is that none of the search options in dash work
The issue is solvable by removing $HOME/.local/share/zeitgeist, but it's
pretty hard to diagnose for the casual user; to find this out I had to:
* kill unity-applications-daemon
* start it in a terminal, see it complains about zeitgeist-daemon
* start zeitgeist-daemon, see the error message in the subject, fumble around
on the internets for half an hour, attempt to purge/reinstall zeitgeist
* finally start zeitgeist-daemon --log-level=DEBUG, see this:
[16:45:33.549992 DEBUG] utils.vala:59: DATA_PATH = $HOME/.local/share/zeitgeist
[16:45:33.550419 DEBUG] utils.vala:78: DATABASE_FILE_PATH =
$HOME/.local/share/zeitgeist/activity.sqlite
[16:45:33.554772 DEBUG] sql-schema.vala:135: schema_version is 3
[16:45:33.555311 WARNING] zeitgeist-daemon.vala:473: Unable to upgrade from
schema version 3
... and guess it doesn't like the database, remove the whole thing just
to be sure
At least an informative message would be in order, if removing some
obscure data automatically is not an option.
