2011-10-18 Thread Manish Sinha
Hello, Right now Ubuntu and esp Unity depends on zeitgeist for searches, recommendations etc. Right now only those events are logged by zeitgeist-datahub. It cannot log each and every user event. To increase the logging, there exists datasources which are plugins/addins for applications. For
