Test 8:  SUCCESS
--------

akonadictl found and usable
Details: The program '/usr/bin/akonadictl' to control the Akonadi server was found and could be executed successfully.
Result:
Akonadi Control: stopped
Akonadi Server: stopped


Test 9:  ERROR
--------

Akonadi control process not registered at D-Bus.
Details: The Akonadi control process is not registered at D-Bus which typically means it was not started or encountered a fatal error during startup.

Test 10:  ERROR
--------

Akonadi server process not registered at D-Bus.
Details: The Akonadi server process is not registered at D-Bus which typically means it was not started or encountered a fatal error during startup.

Protocol version check not possible.
Details: Without a connection to the server it is not possible to check if the protocol version meets the requirements.

Test 12:  ERROR
--------

No resource agents found.
Details: No resource agents have been found, Akonadi is not usable without at least one. This usually means that no resource agents are installed or that there is a setup problem. The following paths have been searched: '/usr/share/akonadi/agents'. The XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable is set to '/usr/share:/usr/local/share', make sure this includes all paths where Akonadi agents are installed to.

Test 15:  SUCCESS
--------

No current Akonadi control error log found.
Details: The Akonadi control process did not report any errors during its current startup.

Test 16:  SUCCESS
--------

No previous Akonadi control error log found.
Details: The Akonadi control process did not report any errors during its previous startup.

It seems the server crashes. I also get a crash when I run aconadictl start. I'm using recent kdemod packages for ArchLinux.

Please check if you are affected by this problem: http://userbase.kde.org/Akonadi#Apparmor
Comment 2 Przemyslaw Kaminski 2009-02-05 17:11:51 UTC
I don't seem to have apparmor installed (no aa-complain file, no /etc/init.d/apparmor).
Comment 3 Jo Øiongen 2009-03-01 13:48:31 UTC
*** Bug 185454 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 4 Jo Øiongen 2009-03-01 14:34:42 UTC
I've fixed my issues by deleting everything Akonadi related under my "Home" folder (Finding it by running "find . -type d -name akonadi").

Then I started Akonadi from the KDE System Settings. Akonadi still complained, so I ran "/etc/init.d/apparmor stop". Since then everything have been running OK.
Comment 5 Sofia Zaidenberg 2009-03-01 15:28:09 UTC
I did the same and I was able to start the server.
Comment 6 Przemyslaw Kaminski 2009-03-01 17:52:32 UTC
This works for me too. Thanks!
