Description:I am using arch + gnome 3.16
Any application which uses Zeitgeist backend for search is not able to search for files. Zeitgeist is logging files which i checked from Zeitgeist-explorer and gnome-activity-journal. I tried applications like synapse and cairodock. Each giving the following errors when i start typing for search: Zeitgeist search failed: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: No such interface 'org.gnome.zeitgeist.Index' on object at path /org/gnome/zeitgeist/index/activity Additional info: * package version(s) = 0.9.15-1 * config and/or log files etc. Steps to reproduce: Use any program which uses Zeitgeist backend for searching files like synapse, cairo-dock to search your files from Zeitgeist index. |
This task depends upon
What will be the solution for other packages ? should i downgrade my zeitgeist package? if yes then to what version ? I do not understand the version number 2.0 of zeitgeist.
Thankyou for your help.
We should drop the old libzeitgeist package, as it's not functional and deprecated. Software depending on it should be upgraded or removed.
What should be the next step ? whom should i contact ? I am also planning on editing Cairo-dock page on arch wiki (The troubleshoot section). Someone has to address this problem because i am in academia and i have to deal with a lot of research papers and zeitgeist is very helpful tool along with gnome-tracker.
Anyways, I looked into your problem a bit more, it seems org.gnome.zeitgeist.index is provided by the FTS plugin which isn't built by default. I pushed zeitgeist 0.9.15-2 to the repositories with FTS support enabled, please test.
Thanks for clarifications.
Yes everything is working correctly now. I checked it with cairo-dock's recent-events plugin. No error message and search is working.
been waiting this for quite a lot of time.
Thanks a lot.
