Can confirm. Scenario is the same for me: 1. Installed ArchLinux in VM 2. Enabled kde-unstable repository 3. Updated to test kdepim-kmail-4.4.93-1 4. Started it, it shown the first-run account setup wizard 5. Entered my kde email (dimsuzkde@gmail.com) + passwd 6. Leaved an option "Check for settings online" 7. Looks like the settings were obtained correctly (wow!) 8. Pressed "Check Mail" 9. Was presented with an error message: "Could not fetch root collection of resource akonadi_maildir_resource_0" The log currently has *a lot* of repeating messages: kmail2(2011) KMKernel::emergencyExit: "KMail encountered a fatal error and will terminate now. The error was: Could not fetch root collection of resource akonadi_maildir_resource_0." kmail2(2011)/libakonadi Akonadi::SpecialCollectionsRequestJobPrivate::resourceScanResult: Failed to request resource "akonadi_maildir_resource_0" : "Unknown error. (Could not fetch root collection of resource akonadi_maildir_resource_0.)" It even run out of konsole's scrollback, and contains only these messages. Hello, I frequently install then remove kdepim and semantic-desktop (KDE and KDEPIM 4.7.0 on Gentoo), and I might have triggered this problem for myself (not saying it's a bug necessarily 'cause it would be my fault) on my most recent install by incompletely deleting akonadi/nepomuk/kdepim config files during the last removal. (It was akonadi_maildir_resource_3, but oh well.) Going into System Settings > Personal Information > Akonadi Resources Configuration, and deleting the "Local Folders" maildir resource, fixed the problem for me. KMail recreated it and was fine after that. (I didn't know to look at akonadiconsole though.) If the bug's already fixed for you, then great (and hopefully this trick will help someone in the future)! This one sounds like a corrupted database case. It happened back in the days before kdepim 4.6 final was actually released. I would advise starting with a fresh akonadi config on 4.7 and see if that still happen. In any case didn't hit that one in a very long time (or only when I did a mistake on my development setup ;) ), it just works for me so closing as such. |
