 * [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/diodon/+bug/1981964|TooManyResults error results in empty history]], [[https://answers.launchpad.net/diodon/+question/701738|Diodon often shows my clipboard history as 'empty']]


=== Quick Fixes ===

 * Option 1:  Stop and restart Diodon
 * Option 2: https://answers.launchpad.net/diodon/+question/701738  {{{
pkill diodon
pkill zeitgeist-daemon
G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all diodon > diodon_debug.txt
}}}

=== sqlite DB broken ===

 * For whatever reason, even a sqlite database might break.
 * If zeitgeist does not work, than diodon does not work. {{{
# Testrun from diodon shows:
$ strace diodon
...
zeitgeist-clipboard-storage.vala:383: Add item unavailable not successful, error: GDBus.Error:org.gnome.zeitgeist.EngineError.DatabaseCorrupt: Database corruption flag is set.
...
}}}
 * Check the zeitgeist db: {{{
$ sqlite3 ~/.local/share/zeitgeist/activity.sqlite 'VACUUM;'
}}}
 * If this reports something like `Unable to execute SQL:` - this is the problem.
 * Check zeitgeist: {{{
$ zeitgeist-daemon -r
[09:25:01.337402 WARNING] sql.vala:150: It looks like your database is corrupt. It will be renamed and a new one will be created.
[09:25:01.391462 WARNING] zeitgeist-daemon.vala:546: Can't create database: 10, disk I/O error
}}}
 * If the past user activity is not important anymore, remove the broken db {{{
$ pkill zeitgeist-daemon
$ rm -r .local/share/zeitgeist/
$ nohup zeitgeist-daemon -r &

# Restart diodon
$ pkill diodon
$ nohup diodon &
}}}
