Bug Description
When I open GNOME Activity Journal I see a "Loading journal" message, but that message never goes away. At the bottom I see there is activity show on the graph, but it never loads in the main window. This also means I don't have access to the configuration button. In the terminal I see this message:
Using the "zeitgeist" module from /usr/lib/
/usr/share/
self.show()
This is the only clue I have, but haven't found out what is causing this error (or even if it is relevant).

So I stopped in the zeitgeist daemon (`zeitgeist-daemon --quit`), backed up my zeitgeist database (~/.local/ share/zeitgeist /activity. sqlite) and deleted my zeitgeist database. Then I started zeitgeist-daemon again (`zeitgeist-daemon --replace`) and started gnome-activity- journal. Now gnome-activity- journal starts fine, but of course I have no history.
I stopped zeitgeist-daemon, restored my backup of the zeitgeist database and started zeitgeist-daemon in debug mode this time (`zeitgeist-daemon --log-level=DEBUG --replace`) and piped stdout and stderr to a file. I see the former behaviour in gnome-activity- journal (stuck at "Loading Journal") and as I watch a tail of the log file I see after about 10 seconds a bunch of dbus timeout errors.
I will attach the log file. According to zeitgeist-daemon the database is fine:
[DEBUG - zeitgeist.sql] Core schema is good. DB loaded in 1.32012367249ms
...but I'm getting dbus timeouts:
[ERROR - dbus.proxies] Introspect error on :1.316: /org/gnome/ zeitgeist/ monitor/ 1 .DBusException: org.freedesktop .DBus.Error. NoReply: Did not rec /org/gnome/ zeitgeist/ monitor/ 2 .DBusException: org.freedesktop .DBus.Error. NoReply: Did not rec
: dbus.exceptions
eive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a rep
ly, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired
, or the network connection was broken.
[DEBUG - dbus.proxies] Executing introspect queue due to error
[ERROR - dbus.proxies] Introspect error on :1.316:

eive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a rep
ly, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired
, or the network connection was broken.
That is just a sample. I get that several times in the log. Is this a problem with dbus then? Any thoughts?
Btw, this was milestoned for 0.8.1, but I'm now running 0.8.1:
$ dpkg-query -W zeitgeist* extension- fts 0.0.7-0ubuntu2
zeitgeist 0.8.1.1-1
zeitgeist-core 0.8.1.1-1
