I found an issue... The tables are generated if not existent on each startup However if the table exists but is damaged or incomplete it wont overwrite it We can fix that by getting the columns for each table and replacing if incomplete Does that sound sane?

Status in Zeitgeist Framework: Incomplete Status in “zeitgeist” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Binary package hint: zeitgeist If zeitgeist's database (~/.local/share/zeitgeist/activity.sqlite) is incomplete, eg missing the events table, zeitgeist fails to run. And because the GUI does not report that zeitgeist faiiled to run, applications that rely on zeitgeist simply fail to work without any relevant reason given. I ran into this problem on upgrading an installation from Ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10. After the upgrade, the dockbarx applet failed to run. The error message from gnome-panel just said it had failed to run, and .xsession-errors said the child process did not report any specific error. Running in debug mode (ie with the command "dockbarx-factory.py run-in-window") gave: ERROR:dbus.proxies:Introspect error on :1.134:/org/gnome/zeitgeist/log/activity: dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus) DEBUG:dbus.proxies:Executing introspect queue due to error Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/dockbarx_factory.py", line 26, in <module> import dockbarx.dockbar ...

I fixed the problem (eventually) by deleting the zeitgeist database file and restarting the zeitgeist-daemon manually. What I would expect to happen is: 1) The GUI should report that zeitgeist has failed to run. 2) Better yet, zeitgeist could create the necessary tables if its database is invalid or perhaps backup the old database and create a new one so it can run properly. It would of course be nice if dockbarx reported better error information, but since there are other applications that depend on zeitgeist, it would be good if zeitgeist could recover from this situation.
