Description Sabine Faure 2009-09-25 18:28:28 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
Compiler:          gcc 4.3.2 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

- Launch Kontact and go to Kaddressbook
- in the middle of the window there is a red and white cross with an 'Akonadi not operational' message.
- When clicking on the 'Details...' link an 'Akonadi Server Self-Test' dialogue appears. See file attached for content details

Nothing more happens and it is impossible to access the address books and contacts in Kaddressbook.

At the moment the only way to start Akonadi server is manually by:
- Go to K menu/systemsettings
- Go to the 'Advanced' tab
- Click on 'Akonadi Configuration' and the same 'Akonadi not operational. Details...' message is shown, this time in the Akonadi Configuration dialogue.
- Go to the 'Akonadi Server Configuration' tab
- Click on the 'Start' button from the Status section.

The Akonadi server starts and the address books and contacts appear in Kaddressbook.

Note: I looked into xsession-errors and found nothing about akonadi being started. Just failed connection attempts to it:

kontact(6619)/libakonadi Akonadi::Session::Session: Akonadi Client Session: connection config file ' akonadi/akonadiconnectionrc can not be foun
d in ' "/home/sabine/.config" ' nor in any of  ("/etc/xdg", "/d/kde/inst/kdesupport_trunk/share/config")
kontact(6619)/libakonadi Akonadi::SessionPrivate::socketError: Socket error occurred: "QLocalSocket::connectToServer: Invalid name"

and that line repeated many many times.
What is supposed to auto-start akonadi?

Comment 4 Sabine Faure 2009-10-02 01:20:08 UTC

It is corrected now.

Akonadi server is automatically launched when Kontact Kaddressbook is launched:
A 'Starting Akonadi server' progress bar appears before KAB main view is displayed.

I still get this error with kontact not starting akonadi with KDE SC 4.4 RC3 on openSUSE 11.2. Starting kmail directly starts akonadi, 

Is the fix not inside this RC3?
