Description Fred van Zwieten 2009-01-14 19:33:06 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Kontact 1.3 on KDE 4.2 RC1.
When I enable "Always start with specified component" and select "Summary". Kontact won't start. At first, there is a lot of I/O activity and kontact is running at 99%, but nothing shows. When I manually remove this setting in the rc file. I get it working again after a few restarts. A bit vague, I know.

Comment 1 Tom Chiverton 2009-01-28 00:19:11 UTC

Confirmed here on the 4.2 release (!)

Changing
ForcedStartupPlugin=kontact_summaryplugin
to
ForcedStartupPlugin=kontact_kmailplugin
in
.kde/share/config/kontactrc
allows Kontact to start up, otherwise crashes straight away.

Comment 2 Sergio Martins 2009-03-01 02:23:09 UTC

I believe this was recently fixed in ResourceAkonadi. Please retry when KDE 4.2.1. is out.

Comment 3 Tom Chiverton 2009-03-05 20:12:37 UTC

Seems fixed with the 4.2.1 packages in Kubuntu's experimental repo.

Comment 4 Sergio Martins 2009-03-21 14:13:10 UTC

yep, I had this problem too, fixed in 4.2.1.

Thanks for the reply.
