I want to move Zeitgeist data for a user from one computer to another. He uses Gnome Activity Journal, and it would be nice to move his history.

Type this command in a terminal:

nautilus ~/.local/share/zeitgeist

This is the zeitgeist directory where it stores the data.

    Odd that you would suggest opening up a terminal to type a command to open up nautilus. Wouldn't it make more sense to just list the directory? – Firefeather Nov 24 '10 at 20:12
  • I found it much easier to enter a simple command instead of directing him into directories and telling to look into hidden files. – Gaurav Butola Nov 24 '10 at 20:23

    @Gaurav That's a good point. In Nautilus, I believe you can use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+L and then type in the location like ~/.local/share/zeitgeist to get there immediately. – Firefeather Nov 24 '10 at 20:44

    @Firefeather Thanks for the suggestion, I didn't think of this way, would keep in mind next time. – Gaurav Butola Nov 24 '10 at 20:50
