Hej Andreas, please remove the old 'KDE AddressBook (traditional)' vCard resource from KAddressBook and add the new Akonadi based vCard resource, which can point to the same file as the old one. (also I suggest to use the 'Personal Contacts' resource for better performance and support of sub address books). The all contacts shall appear correctly on startup. The second problem is a known issue which has already been fixed, just add wait_timeout=1296000 to your ~/.local/share/akonadi/mysql.conf to avoid a MySQL timeout. Ciao, Tobias I would delete it if it worked. But when I rightclick my addressbook and call "Delete Addressbook" nothing happens. I also can remember that I created a new addressbook in loaded my KDE 4.3 one into the new Akonady framework. Seems like this is not really stable and bugfree right now :) How can I delete it manually? If you can't remove it from within kaddressbook, start akonadiconsole, select the first tab, and remove the 'KDE AddressBook (traditional)' there. I have done so. Removed all adressbok entries in akonadiconsole. But my addressbook is still visible in the Browser-tab. I cannot remove it from there. My kaddressbook still shows my addressbook. I cannot add a new "Personal Adressbook" in the agets tab. Better to say. I CAN add a Personal AB, but it doesn't show up in the Agents list. After akonadiconsole-restart it is visible but it is never visible in KAddressbook. There is still my std.vcf visible and not removable. I there a way to completely reset the configuration? I often had trouble upgrading to new KDE versions because my home directory remains nearly the same since 1998 - thats what I like about linux and upgrades - keep your home. Hej, in this case you should start with a clean akonadi environment, meaning remove all files rm -Rf $HOME/.local/share/akonadi rm -Rf $HOME/.config/akonadi rm -Rf $HOME/.kde/share/config/akonadi* (of course while Akonadi server is not running ;)) Ciao, Tobias That fixed the problem, thanks! Why has akonadi two places where it stores configuration in?!? Hej, the Akonadi server is desktop environment independent (only based on Qt), therefor it has its settings under the neutral location .config/ The resources however are KDE specific and therefor make use of the KDE configuration system which stores their files under .kde/share/config Ciao, Tobias |
