Bug Description

Running Ubuntu Oneiric Beta 1. Upon booting into either the GNOME-Shell or the Unity deskops, I get an error dialog informing me that zeitgeist-daemon has crashed.

Wow, that is an interesting stack trace. I assume you have less than 1,462,895,201 items in your index? ;-)

Looking at that monstrous doc id it would seem that this is either memory corruption in the zg process or that it is a corrupted index, that xapian somehow doesn't detect.

Can you report which version of zeitgeist-extension-fts you are running? ('apt-cache policy zeitgeist-extension-fts' in a terminal will tell you).

I have an idea for a fix. You can help me know if it'll work or not by running this command in a terminal:

dbus-send --print-reply --session --dest=org.gnome.zeitgeist.Engine /org/gnome/zeitgeist/index/activity org.gnome.zeitgeist.Index.ForceReindex

It will rebuild your Zeitgeist index (you will not loose your history, don't worry). Give it a few minutes to chow through your history. Then log out/in or reboot, and report whether you still have the bug.

Hello Mikkel!

The version of zeitgeist-extension-fts is 0.0.12-0ubuntu1

Running the "dbus-send..." command in the terminal gave me this output almost immediately:

method return sender=:1.25 -> dest=:1.90 reply_serial=2

Right @Izo, that's also ok. This means that it is rebuilding your index. If you log out and back in, or reboot - do you then still see the bug?

OK, I ran the command, gave it half an hour or so, rebooted the machine. I still get a dialog saying that zeitgeist-daemon has crashed.
