Hi, I cannot start akonadi, it says (in KMail for example) "Akonadi personal information management service is not operational".

Reproducible: Always

Upgrade KDE to 4.7 and also KDEPIM to 4.7 and all related packages...

Akonadi doesn't start.

Expected Results:  
To start properly.

Thanks

Hi, this sounds more like an installation issue. Please check with your distribution, or the kde forums/mailing lists. (IOW : akonadi works fine for me)

Comment 3 Christophe Marin 2011-08-29 15:07:17 UTC

usually means kdepim-runtime is not installed

Comment 4 Tom Kijas 2011-09-29 06:54:54 UTC

Yes, but it is installed... Any other ideas? :)

Comment 5 Christophe Marin 2011-09-29 08:56:02 UTC

I'm not a good seer

self installation ?
packages ?
which distribution ?
(if exists) content of ~/.config/akonadi/akonadiserverrc ? 
(if exists) content of ~/.local/share/akonadi/akonadiserver.error ?

Comment 6 Tom Kijas 2011-10-13 17:46:12 UTC

Installed using Kubuntu installation, packages are original.
I use Kubuntu 11.10 (oneiric 64bit) and still getting this error, purging ~/.kde folder doesn't help, I am nearly mad of it...

Akonadiserverrc:

[%General]
Driver=QMYSQL

[QMYSQL]
Name=akonadi
Host=
Options="UNIX_SOCKET=/home/tom/.local/share/akonadi/socket-tom-AO722/mysql.socket"
ServerPath=/usr/sbin/mysqld
StartServer=true
User=
Password=

[Debug]
Tracer=null

[QPSQL]
Name=akonadi

Password=
Port=5432
Options=
StartServer=true

I am adding akonadiserver.error as attachment.

Comment 8 Christophe Marin 2011-10-13 19:41:44 UTC

kubuntu still uses their apparmor workaround iirc

look in your dmesg output if you see some apparmor warnings

or try to change:

ServerPath=/usr/sbin/mysqld

to 

ServerPath=/usr/sbin/mysqld-akonadi

I have the same problem on a fresh install of Precise.  Finding it v. difficult to get anywhere.

Comment 10 Denis Kurz 2016-09-24 20:44:01 UTC

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.

Comment 11 Denis Kurz 2017-01-07 21:42:27 UTC

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.
