Ubuntu :: Zeitgeist No Longer Logging / Get That To Work?
Jan 16, 2011
Since installation (Christmas Day, I believe; had to reinstall, but that's irrelevant) I've been using Zeitgeist to log used applications/websites (via the Chrome extension)/songs (via the Rhythmbox extension) and Synapse to launch applications. However, recently Zeitgeist has seemingly stopped logging things. Nothing launched from Synapse or otherwise is saved to the activity journal. After two re-installations of both Synapse and Zeitgeist (including using the complete removal feature in Synaptic to erase all Zeitgeist related actions and applications) (as well as removing the ppa and reinstalling via Terminal), it is still no dice. I don't know what's causing the problem and am at a loss for what to do now.
When I launch Activity Journal it shows at the bottom bars when it was still working, which looks to take up the majority of the area above the word January, but when I roll back to look at what was launched the bars reset and there's nothing there. Also, it seems that it only logs things when I have activity journal open. When I close and open activity journal again it deletes whatever it saved.

I have 2 zombies that persist across reboots. How can I get rid of them and are they really a problem? They are: zeitgeist-datah under zeitgeist-daemon and killall underunity/sh. Both are waiting channel do_exit.

I have seen a lot of posts about Zeitgeist and have done a fair bit of googling but I can't figure out how it is used.
For instance, I see docky helpers for Zeitgeist. What do they do? How do I take advantage of them? Is there integration with nautilus elementary? If so how to take advantage of this?
I know ir's running:
I needs a dummies overview please. I understand that it keeps track of what and when various things were accessed but what do with this? How do I use it?

Install firefox data-provider for zeitgeist from ppa?
All the code...tried with this ppa, ppa:thekorn/ppa
But
sudo apt-get zeitgeist-datasources

Zeitgeist is sooo cool, but no documentation and links for providers at all . Searches retutn bug reports only.

I want to install the Zeitgeist Activity Journal on Fedora 12, there is a package zeitgeist-0.3.2-1.fc12 (noarch) in the repos and the description says its just the daemon without user interface/gui.
How can I use it on F12, there are many Screenshots on the Internet like this one:

I want it as shown in the picture and not in combination with gnome shell. What do I have to install ?

I'm trying to configure an autologin account for a kiosk. I can create the user, no problem. I can set the user to automatically log in, no problem. I can set a delay in the automatic login so that someone is given a chance to log in using their own account, no problem. But if the autologin user logs out, then gdm does not automatically log it back in. This is where I'm stumbling. It seems that for such kiosk uses like this such behaviour would be a bug and not a feature.

I just installed Fedora 15 over a previous F14 installation. (My /home and /usr/local directories were installed as separate partitions, and the system dual-boots with Windows on another partition.) Setting up the users seemed to work normally. However, when I logged in, instead of starting normally, it went back to the login screen.I rebooted and made it go into terminal mode on startup (appending 3 to the kernel arguments). I was able to log in from the terminal. When I tried using startx, it failed. I tried to use "yum update" but I had no internet connection, so it did not work.
The next step was to try and get a connection to my router using iwconfig and wpa_supplicant, but that also failed. I tried reinstalling Fedora from the LiveCD, but the problem persisted.

I have a annoying problem, my screensavers in ubuntu 10.04 no longer work. When the screensaver is supposed to activate all I get is a blank screen. This started happening after I installed xscreensaver and copied all of it's 200+ screensavers over to to gnome-screensaver's directory. I have since removed xscreensaver. I have tried multiple screensavers, old and new, reinstalling xscreensaver, and reinstalling gnome-screensaver to no avail. Not even locking the screen will make the screensaver function properly, although I can preview the screensavers.

Since I've moved the /home directory to a new mountpoint
(UUID=160b687f-3e30-472e-97c2-7fd6149ec2a0 /home ext4 nodev,nosuid 0 2 in the fstab menu)
I have troubles with the links on the places menu. all the links there that point to /home or to one of its subdirectories don't work any longer.
The links to usb drivers and other places work just fine.
I've tried reinstalling xdg and gnome-menu, but no success.
if I do cat .xsession-errors right after trying to click on one of the links in the menu this is what I see:
giulio@giulio:~$ cat .xsession-errors
...
/home/giulio: /home/giulio: is a directory

It looks like the desktop amusements that used to work under KDE 3.5 no longer work in the current v4. I've installed xpeguins, but it does not seem to produce any output on the display. I have enabled desktop effects, but no penguins appear. Is there some setting needed for this to work?
I'm running SUSE 11.3/KDE 4.5.3.

There must be something turned on in the security settings keeping Desktop Launchers from working.I have verified that the launchers have execute bit turned on in the permissions, yet when try to start one, I get an alert window saying this is an Untrusted application launcher.How do I disable this feature, or in the alternative, make them trusted?

Recently I've been working intensively in my laptop (F12 x86_64) and so I usually only suspend it when I move between home and school, so I can continue working exactly where I left.
Alongside with a problem (now irrelevant given the context) of sluggish video performance after resuming from suspend (addressed in another thread), I've found another annoying problem involving sound (it embarrassed me in the library): after suspend I can no longer use headphones! Sure, I can have them on, but the laptop speakers play as well!
I tried several things in alsamixer and the only option was to entirely shut the volume down.
Of course I would hate to reboot the machine, besides I imagine it is a matter of restarting some service.
Is there a fix or at least a workaround for this sound issue without rebooting the machine?

I keep training SpamAssassin with the spam that slips through, but don't see any improvement is spam detection. The details are these: Using ssh I trained SpamAssassin with examples of spam and ham I had saved for that purpose, perhaps 500 of each. I set up email recipes such that spam@example.com would go through sa-learn --spam --mbox, and ham@example.com would go through sa-learn --ham --mbox. Since then I have forwarded (as an attachment) any spam that slips through to spam@... and an equal amount of fresh ham to ham@...
That worked well for about a year. Spam in the inbox went from 150 per day to less than one per week on average, with no false positives. Naturally, spam blooms sometimes appeared, but training dealt with them.
I wrote up my spam setup in greater detail in these notes to myself:[URL].. For the past month or so, however, a steady stream of nearly identical spam has been getting through and despite training it all I see no change in spam scores on it. Here are relevant headers from a typical message:
(snip)
X-Spam-Status: No, hits=-6.6 required=3.5
tests=BAYES_00,RCVD_IN_DNSWL_MED,STOX_REPLY_TYPE autolearn=ham
version=3.002005
(snip)
X-AVES-Antispam: Maybe spam, 17.32 >= 4.00 [as:15.30 cc:0.00 hc:2.02
sa:17.32]
(snip)
Notice that a spam filter on an upstream server correctly flagged it, but my SpamAssassin. Nor does the score on these nearly identical messages seem to change with training. Another clue: previously my spam folder was receiving fresh spam every hour. Since this problem began the spam folder receives almost nothing.
Sure, it would be easy to cook up a procmail recipe to filter on the upstream server's "maybe spam" header, but I'd rather fix the underlying problem with SpamAssassin, not cover it up. Prior to coming here I searched the web, consulted my web host's knowledge base's articles on SpamAssassin, and read everything relevant at spamassassin.apache.org, but I remain stumped.

I had a web server running from a Windows 7 computer and recently moved everything to an Ubuntu server. All is set up and running smoothly. I do have one page that actually interfaces with the serial port. The only thing I do with it is to set the DTR pin to "true" which applies +12v to the pin. This activates a relay. It is very basic and simple. After moving everything to Linux, this page will no longer work. I knew this would happen. I know the page had code in it to call out "Com1" which would change to "ttyS0". It also had "set_serDTR(True);" in the code. I can't figure out how to get PHP to control the DTR pin on a Linux serial port.

I'm having some trouble using sudo - it did work fine, but now when I try to use it, I have the following error:
I understand that I have to modify /etc/sudoers but need to have root access to do this. I am using a bootable USB (lucid) with persistent changes and am unable to login as root, because I don't know the default root password, and am unable to use sudo to change it.
The problem occurred after I had some corruption to the casper file system, so I booted into Windows, moved the casper-rw file to another location on my flashdrive, and used a 1GB backup filesystem to repair the corrupt one using fsck.
After booting up from the restored filesystem, sudo would no longer work.

When my Iphone had the 4.2.1 firmware it mounted just fine with Ubuntu, OK sure it took a download of libimobiledevice1 and some other libraries but it worked, and sync'd just fine with Rhythmbox. But, as all manufacturers do, they have released a superior new OS for the phone which fixes all those annoying little bug. I have read from 4.3.2 they changed the itunes database version to an updated one. Now this is fine if you have a windows or mac machine running the latest version of itunes but if like all of us here you have an Ubuntu machine for a very valid reason... i.e you wanted a better operating system that wasnt going to cost the earth.
well, you are screwed as they have locked the third part access to the device's itunes library. I have followed long procedures trying to hack into the phone, modifying certain files, creating a hashfile and dropping this into a system folder to fool the phone into thinking it has the 4.2.1 database still but to no avail. Now my iphone is jailbroken, for the very same reasons as to why have an ubuntu machine, a good peice of hardware with good software that i can customise to run how i see fit, this error is the same with my friends non jaibroken phone and my wifes newly updated iopd..
Surely someone out there who has an ipod, iphone 3gs who are running 4.3.2 or higher has figured out how to fix this annoying "update" problem. The phone mounts fine and i can see a documents drive and the main iphone itself, so it is being recognised but im getting errors when trying ti access the phone in ANY linux media software... They all see the phone but cant recognise the database.

I have a ZTE HSUPA USB Modem Model:MF636 which used to work great and then is not longer detected.
I am using Fedora 12 and was having problems with the modem not been properly detected and filed a bug, which turned not to be a problem of NetworkManager, but an issue with udev.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=603433
I followed instructions to edit /lib/udev/rules.d/61-option-modem-modeswitch.rules and then it worked fine.
Now the modem is again not properly detected. Here is a copy of the results from dmesg code...
I have tried restoring the file that I edited. It was back to the stated previusly reported. I also have tried to run an older kernel. Then I updated to the latest kernel available for Fedora 12. Nothing seems to work.

Recently I have started using my netbook (Acer Aspire one D250) alot more due to travelling and I noticed that the mic didn't work. Headed to the Ubuntu forums and saw a thread about installing ALSA. So I did and now I have no sound. From what I can tell ubuntu is no longer picking up my sound devices but I'm sure. Hence why I am here. I need to get my sound working again (obviously) and then in turn get my mic working for mumble and other VOIP programs.

I migrated back from Maverick because I couldn't get Tvtime to work because /dev/mixer is no longer created in 10.10 so no volume control from within tvtime. I'm now back to 10.04. The issue that I'm having is that I have 4 devices that show up as /dev/mixer, /dev/mixer1,/dev/mixer2 and /dev/mixer3. I need to have tvtime use the mixer associated with my soundblaster audigy card.
whenever I reboot, the order of these devices changes. Sometimes the soundblaster is assoaciated with /dev/mixer , sometimes it's /dev/mixer2 etc. Is there a way to ensure that the devices are always in the same place/order? On a related note, sometimes my usb webcam is video1 other times it's video0 , this also causes problems with tvtime. How can I ensure that my system is the same after each boot? I tried dev rules but couldn't get them to work properly.

With the recent upgrade kernel, my ATI driver can no longer work. After upgrading to the new kernel, upon reboot I would get stuck at the "checking battery status" and can't boot into kubuntu.
I'm running Kubuntu 10.10 64 on intel i5 with radeon hd 4870.
So I thought I messed something up since I was fooling around with conky script the day before. I did a clean install of kubuntu 10.10 64 and reset all my settings and my files. At this point, everything works smoothly and I can reboot multiple times without a problem.
I proceeded to install the Radeon catalyst driver following the documentation, which worked perfectly for me on the previous kernel. After rebooting, I can no longer get pass the "checking battery state" black screen. I had to boot into safe book, uninstall all fglrx and also delete xorg.conf to be able to boot back in normally.

I experience this since kde 4, but it never really was that bad because once in a while on updating kde I also deleted the .kde folder in my home-folder and everything was fast again.
But I haven't done this for a while now and kde take really long to load. Is there any folder to clean up there without deleting the whole .kde-folder and loosing all my settings again?

I've tried to find a solution on other posts but can't find one.Karmic keeps logging me out automatically. Sometimes there are less than five minutes between logouts.Initially I upgraded from Jaunty, so, in case that was at fault, I then did a clean install, but that hasn't worked either.I've been hoping one of the updates will fix it, but no joy ye

Why does Ubuntu 9.10 keep logging me out? This only started about a week ago and it seems to be getting worse. I have not installed any new hardware or software. The only thing that's been installed recently are the routine Ubuntu updates. I just got logged out 4 times in less than 10 minutes while I was trying to type a reply to a message in another forum. I had to reboot into WinXP to post this message and finish my reply in the other forum. This is getting REAL annoying and I can't find any solutions. Someone suggested that uninstalling Compiz would fix it so I did that, but it seems to have gotten worse. I've really liked Ubuntu until now, but I'm on the verge of trashing it if this problem can't be fixed.

how I could run a command before logging on, in addition, the command needs to run as root.
This is going back to some few weeks months ago, shortly after I upgraded to Karmic Koala. Since then, the sound device doesn't work automatically. I donno why, but alsa doesn't seem to detect the audio device.
Once I have booted the machine, I can access sound by doing:
Code:
sudo alsa force-reload
Needless to say, that's pretty annoying and I posted two or three threads to find a solution to this problem, but never got anywhere.
Failing that I get the issue resolved, running the 'alsa force-reload' command at boot up, so that when I'm logged in, it's already working.
