• diodon uses Zeitgeist.

• Zeitgeist uses SQLite.

• TooManyResults error results in empty history, Diodon often shows my clipboard history as 'empty'

• 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 &
