Latest version available in the Zeitgest PPA (br 40) doesn't work

[Alin Andrei]

The latest Activity Log Manager available in the Zeitgeist PPA (I've also tried it from BZR - revno: 40) doesn't work: no files are removed from the history when trying to clear it and the blacklist doesn't work either.

However, I still have the old revno: 35 from BZR on my computer and this one works just fine.

Using Ubuntu 10.10.

You need to have zeitgeist 0.8 for this to work

Hello,

Yes, I have Zeitgeist 0.8 and also restarted Zeitgeist using "zeitgeist-daemon --replace", that's why I was saying that BZR revision 35 works. But BZR revision 40 doesn't work.

My bug report was submitted for Ubuntu 10.10. I am now in Ubuntu 11.04 (different computer) and here deleting the Zeitgeist history doesn't work either (just like in Ubuntu 10.10, the "Deleted items: X" dialog box that is displayed when deleting the Zeitgeist history isn't displayed and obviously, the files still show up in Dash), however on Ubuntu 11.04 the blacklist works.

If you need further info, please let me know (but I can only test it in Ubuntu 11.04 right now).

Thanks for getting back to us so fast.

Can you please try running activity-log-manager from the terminal and seeing whether it shows any debug message when you try to delete recent entries?

Also, does the blacklist part work? (Ie., is deleting the only problem or isn't it working at all for you?).

This is the output when running activity-log-manager:

activity-log-manager
** (activity-log-manager:4961): CRITICAL **: cr_parser_new_from_buf: assertion `a_buf && a_len' failed
** (activity-log-manager:4961): CRITICAL **: cr_parser_set_sac_handler: assertion `a_this' failed

** (activity-log-manager:4961): CRITICAL **: cr_parser_destroy: assertion `a_this && PRIVATE (a_this)' failed
INFO:zeitgeist.client:Reconnected to Zeitgeist engine...

But please note that nothing changes in the terminal after clicking the delete button.

Like I wrote in the comment above, in Ubuntu 10.10 with the version from the PPA, nothing worked (both blacklisting and clearing the history). However, in Ubuntu 11.04, blacklisting works but clearing the Zeitgeist history does not work using the version from the PPA. I've tested it on 2 Ubuntu 11.04 installations: my computer and in Virtualbox, both with the same result.

By the way, I am not the only one affected by this. From a comment: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/05/zeitgeist-activity-log-manager-now.html#comment-204995072

"i followed the exact instructions and i already have the latest Zeitgeist 0.8. it doesn't forget my activities. its suppose to show how many events has been deleted after pressing "Delete" but it doesn't."

[Alin Andrei (nilarimogard)]

By the way, I've tried BZR revision 36 and it doesn't work so it seems that's when the breakag started happening

You probably need to restart Zeitgeist (zeitgeist-daemon --quit).

OK, I'll look into it. Thanks.

[Siegfried Gevatter (rainct)]

Fixed in revision 41.

Thanks!

[Alin Andrei (nilarimogard)]

I can confirm it works now. Thanks!
