My syslog is full of zeitgeist errors like this:

org.gnome.zeitgeist.Engine ... DataInserter: destroyed with unflushed data...  
org.gnome.zeitgeist.Engine ... database is locked

It seems also to be causing problems with other applications:

>From what I've read about zeitgeist it sounds like a good idea. I tried
installing a gui for it once and learned that most applications I use
don't report to it. It had scant information that was of use to me and
the gui was pretty impotent. So there wasn't much I could do with it.

Meantime, Zeitgeist seems to be causing problems and my system resources
are very tight. I would rather just switch it off. But there is no
obvious place for a user to do either of two very important things with
this application: i) find out what it does; and ii) find out how to
control it. It seems sensible to me to give the user control of it: at
the very least so they can switch it on and off.

Title:
  Lots of zeitgeist errors

Status in Zeitgeist Datahub:
  Confirmed
Status in zeitgeist package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  $ cat /var/log/syslog shows me lots of zeitgeist-related errors. My
  system is behaving weird lately since the upgrade from Ubuntu 14.10 to
  15.04 so I am guessing this might be related. Alright, here the
  relevant log entries:

  Any clues how to fix all that?
