gnome-activity-journal crashed with DBusException in call_blocking(): org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: No such interface `org.gnome.zeitgeist.Log' on object at path /org/gnome/zeitgeist/journal/activity

Trying to run gnome-activity-journal from the dash in Untiy causes apport to start,with no real indication of why it crashed. Starting it from a terminal, gives me this output:

cariboo@Alexis-2:~$ gnome-activity-journal

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Christopher Kyle Horton (christhehorton)]

I just got this crash now trying to launch the Activity Journal from the launcher immediately after installation.

[Khairul Aizat Kamarudzzaman (fenris)]

same goes to me ...

[Marcel Stimberg (marcelstimberg)]

I'm marking this bug as a duplicate of bug #924988, since that one has already a branch with a fix attached to it. I hope apport redirects duplicate reports there as well...
