- Powerful clipboard manager
broken - no clipboard entries anymore
diodon uses Zeitgeist.
Zeitgeist uses SQLite.
TooManyResults error results in empty history, Diodon often shows my clipboard history as 'empty'

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 &
