Description Egbert König 2011-11-05 19:03:14 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.7.3) 
OS:                Linux

If I create a new CardDAV source in kaddressbook, contact information is shown fine there. If I quit kaddressbook (exit kontact) and start it again, I can still see the CardDAV address books, but there is no content. In place off the address book icon I see a slow wheel, indicating that kaddressbook is waiting for the source.

kmail can still find addresses in the address book.

The CardDAV source is connecting to egroupware, openSuSE RPMs. System is openSuSE 11.4 x86_64.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. configure a CardDAV address book
2. exit kaddressbook
3. start kaddressbook again
4. look at the address book

Actual Results:  
slow wheel at address book, no contacts shown

Expected Results:  
address book icon at address book, contacts shown

openSuSE 11.4, x86_64
egroupware, openSuSE RPMs

This problem still exists with KDE 4.7.4. Additionally akonadi gives an error message after login and after opening the addressbook in kontact: "unable to fetch item from backend".

This was tested with egroupware 1.8, owncloud 2.1 and owncloud 3.0 alpha carddav servers.

I'm not sure if this is the same bug, but I still experience this on KDE 4.10.

Quite randomly, from some time point, kaddressbook will refuse to load anything, restart akonadi doesn't work, and everytime I start kaddressbook it will only shows a loading icon and looks like it never ends.

This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present?

If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of kaddressbook (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months.

Comment 4 Denis Kurz 2017-01-07 22:49:04 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.
