Usually it indicates an application name (e.g. Plasma-Workspace-Environment, or KOrganizer-Service) and the error message "Unable to fetch item from backend". Occasionally there are also numbers such as Resource -32, item 1. This type of message is useless to me. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Read the popup message Actual Results: Uninformative text. Expected Results: It should say at the minimum: a) What resource is supposed to be fetched. b) Why it doesn't succeed - does it not exist? is it locked? is the query malformed? c) What is the context of this error, i.e. as a consequence of this message, what part of my system is going to have a problem? 1303150 1 heri+kde 2012-10-04 23:04:30 +0000 I agree with the original reporter. Would be much easier to figure out what is going on, if the message would contain more information. 1626550 2 kdenis 2016-09-24 20:36:12 +0000 This bug has only been reported for versions older than KDEPIM 4.14 (at most akonadi-1.3). Can anyone tell if this bug still present? If noone confirms this bug for a recent version of akonadi (part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months. 1652359 3 kdenis 2017-01-07 22:45:02 +0000 Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
