[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1318863@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Every so often, about once a day (I haven't identified a trigger for this behaviour), the unity dash loses the ability to search for applications.  I can open the dash and type, say "firefox" and nothing shows up. Rebooting does not seem to fix the problem.  However if I type, as recommended here <http://askubuntu.com/questions/125843/dash-search-gives-no-result> (note this is a slightly different bug, I can still search for files and the like):
rm ~/.local/share/zeitgeist/activity.sqlite
unity --reset &

Unity restarts and searches for things normally. Somewhat to my
annoyance a lot of settings get lost, for instance the custom sizing of
my launcher icons. Fortunately, I can keep working, but I'd like this
problem to go away if possible.

I am running Ubuntu 12.04
Kernel 3.2.0-58-generic

I am running the kernel released by siddhu in this bug report
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1093217 because it
fixes a problem where the computer hangs while booting.
