PublicActivity: Get All of User's Distinct Activities

I'm using the Public Activity gem to track user's comments. I would like to get fetch all unique user comments in a query. I tried doing the following:

PublicActivity::Activity.where(:trackable_type=>"Comment").where(:owner_id => user.id).all.select(:trackable_id).distinct

But I'm getting the error:

ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments(1 for 0)
    from (irb):14:in `select'
    from (irb):14
    from /Users/ttseng/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p448/gems/railties-3.2.15/lib/rails/commands/console.rb:47:in `start'
    from /Users/ttseng/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p448/gems/railties-3.2.15/lib/rails/commands/console.rb:8:in `start'
    from /Users/ttseng/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p448/gems/railties-3.2.15/lib/rails/commands.rb:41:in `<top (required)>'
    from script/rails:6:in `require'
    from script/rails:6:in `<main>'

Does anyone know how to extract of a user's unique activities based on trackable_id?

For reference, this is what my query results look like before I attempt to fetch the unique records:

The answer was to run the following:

PublicActivity::Activity.where(:trackable_type=>"Comment").where(:owner_id => user.id).select("DISTINCT ON (trackable_id) *")

I did following on Rails Console, see what i got

2.0.0p353 :021 > PublicActivity::Activity.all.class
 => ActiveRecord::Relation::ActiveRecord_Relation_PublicActivity_Activity 
2.0.0p353 :022 > PublicActivity::Activity.where(id:1).all.class

As you can see,u are performing select operation on an array, that's why u are get such error ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments(1 for 0)

try this instead,

 PublicActivity::Activity.where(:trackable_type=>"Comment").where(:owner_id => user.id).select(:trackable_id).distinct
