    I think you might also need the gnome activity journal.

    installed gnome activity manager.

    "The following packages have unmet dependencies:

    zeitgeist: Depends: python-zeitgeist but it is not installed"

    I am having the same issue. Anyone find a fix yet? I can't seem to find one. Not really digging not being able to update my system.

    Personally, I prefer the quick and dirty method for clearing the history.

    Code:
    cd ~/.local/share/zeitgeist
    rm activity.sqlite
    Reboot

    If you fancy not installing an extra repository to just make a dash configuration change, then you can use my fairly simple guide: http://www.andersaaberg.dk/blog/blog...e-porn-folder/
