[Bug 1667898] Re: Failed to start Zeitgeist activity log service on Ubuntu 17.04

 

/home/corrado/.local/share/zeitgeist is empty.
copy /home/corrado/.local/share/zeitgeist from a different installation
seems solving the problem


Ubuntu installed from: Ubuntu 17.04 "Zesty Zapus" - Alpha amd64 (20170222)
