Ubuntu – Temporarily stopping Zeitgeist

zeitgeist

Is there a way to temporarily stop Zeitgeist / the Zeitgeist daemon?

I've tried killing the daemon but it just restarts. I've tried stopping it, but it still seems to add entries to the Activity Journal…

Best Answer

This can be done using the Zeitgeist Activity Log Manager :

  1. Add the Zeitgeist PPA: 

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:zeitgeist/ppa

  2. Install the latest version of Zeitgeist:

    sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

  3. Restart zeitgeist-daemon:

    zeitgeist-daemon --replace

  4. Install activity-log-manager

    sudo apt-get install activity-log-manager

  5. Open up Activity Log Manager and click the Logging active button in the bottom right corner of the window to disable logging:

    Click it again to re-enable logging.
