Description
Dimitrios Glentadakis
2013-10-23 04:34:30 UTC
Can you please provide output of "ps x | grep -i akonadi" ? I have this problem after upgrading Kubuntu 13.04 to 13.10, but not always. Sometimes after rebooting and logging in, Akonadi starts properly, but most often, although akonadi_control and akonadiserver are running, I see the messages in tests 10 and 11: Akonadi control process not registered at D-Bus. Akonadi server process not registered at D-Bus. (Unlike the above log, though, test 12 for me says "Nepomuk search service registered at D-Bus.") The solution for me is: pkill akonadi_control pkill akonadiserver akonadictl start I guess it's a timing problem. I forgot to mention that I had the KDE 4.11.2 PPA installed under Kubuntu 13.04, so the KDE version didn't change with the upgrade to 13.10. (In reply to comment #3) > I forgot to mention that I had the KDE 4.11.2 PPA installed under Kubuntu > 13.04, so the KDE version didn't change with the upgrade to 13.10. no message from apparmor in the dmesg output ? can you also check if the mysql version changed when your switched to kubuntu 13.10 ? are the mysql-upgrade and mysqladmin still installed ? Messages from apparmor are: apparmor="DENIED" operation="file_perm" info="Failed name lookup - disconnected path" error=-13 parent=1 profile="/usr/sbin/mysqld-akonadi///usr/sbin/mysqld" name=".local/share/akonadi/db_data/mysql.err" pid=2813 comm="mysqld" requested_mask="w" denied_mask="w" fsuid=1000 ouid=1000 apparmor="DENIED" operation="file_perm" info="Failed name lookup - disconnected path" error=-13 parent=1 profile="/usr/sbin/mysqld-akonadi///usr/sbin/mysqld" name=".local/share/akonadi/db_data/mysql.err" pid=2813 comm="mysqld" requested_mask="w" denied_mask="w" fsuid=1000 ouid=1000 Mysql changed from 5.5.32 to 5.5.34. mysqladmin is installed, but not mysql-upgrade. ok, please try: sudo aa-complain mysqld-akonadi sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor reload akonadictl start After installing Kubuntu 13.10 from Kubuntu 13.04 I have found the same problem with Akonadi. After deleting ~/.local/share/akonadi and ~/.config/akonadi I could reload the calendar I have in KOrganizer, but the events are not loaded until I restart the session. I too had KDE 4.11.2, but from a PPA, ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports. Just today the same happened after several days of normal use. (In reply to comment #6) > ok, please try: > sudo aa-complain mysqld-akonadi > sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor reload > akonadictl start I didn't try this because the apparmor messages haven't reappeared after several reboots. I guess they only appeared because I was struggling to get kmail working after the Kubuntu upgrade. Still akonadi sometimes starts properly after rebooting and logging in, but mostly it doesn't. Again Akonadi fail to load. After using
$ pkill akonadi_control
$ pkill akonadiserver
$ akonadictl start
I got this exit

And it stayed there until I hit enter again. Akonadi is working and I can see my programmed events.
I've noticed that akonadi usually starts OK when I log in after being logged in previously for several days. When this happens, nepomuk seems to be working hard (catching up on the work it didn't do in the previous login session?). Incidentally, in comment 2 I neglected to show a clean shutdown of mysql. The full sequence of commands is: pkill akonadi_control pkill akonadiserver mysqladmin shutdown --socket ~/.local/share/akonadi/socket-$(hostname)/mysql.socket akonadictl start The output of ps x | grep -i akonadi: [dglent@localhost ~]$ ps x | grep -i akonadi 1673 ?

I will continue the test and i will confirm it later. I remarked with mariadb 5.5.33a i have the process mysqlcheck as zombie This morning i had again the symptome with mariadb 5.5.28 :( The problem appears to be that sometimes (?) Akonadi is unable to start any resources or agents. Akonadi requires at least one agent or resource to run. Apparently the resources are available (judging from content of /usr/share/akonadi/agents). Please enable ibakonadi in kdebugdialog and start Akonadi from console (akonadictl start) and paste here the output. *** Bug 327159 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** The output of akonadictl start: [dglent@localhost ~]$ akonadictl start Unable to register service as "org.freedesktop.Akonadi.Control.lock" Maybe it's already running?

libakonadi debug output
I directed libakonadi debug output to disk while I logged in to KDE (file attached). The messages make reference to /tmp/akonadi-ghewson.ws0sFY/akonadiserver.socket, but there is no such file. This is after a reboot (on Kubuntu, where /tmp is cleared between reboots). However, the file /did/ exist in the previous session, and in the current session ~/.local/share/akonadi/socket-$(hostname) is a link to /tmp/akonadi-ghewson.ws0sFY/akonadiserver.socket. The messages also say "Akonadi server is already starting up", but before logging in to KDE I started a terminal session and verified that Akonadi wasn't running. (It's very hard to see how it could have been!) To reiterate: sometimes Akonadi does start properly. In fact, while I was debugging, it usually did (presumably due to a change in the timing), and I had to try several times before it failed to start properly. Could any of you please try whether the problem is fixed with this [0] patch for kdepimlibs? The patch addresses a DBus-timing problem that could be the same as yours. I'm just not very happy about how it fixes the problem. We will work on it with Guy this weekend on the PIM sprint and get it to next KDE update. [0] https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/112062/ *** Bug 328201 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** @Daniel Vrátil Sadly, the patch didn't fix the problem. After the first reboot, Akonadi started normally but after another reboot, the same issue happened again. *** This bug has been confirmed by popular vote. *** Hi Guys - I filed one bug report on Kubuntu-launchpad for this bug before we realized that this affects not only Kubuntu users. I cannot follow any more which of the various things I did changed my situation, but now under KDE 4.11.3 my akonadi almost always starts on booting (not always though, but mostly compared to almost never before). If akonadi fails to start, the three pkill commands mentioned above remedy this problem. However, if I get akonadi started I now always observe serious CPU consumption of both mysql and akonadi on working with kontact. reading emails and managing them is very slow, but sending is impossible. Kontact always becomes unresponsive and eventually crashed on this step. However, I found an advice to remedy this problem by "cleaning up the profile" and want to give this a try. However, how exactly do I COMPLETELY clean up kontact/akonadi/whatever else profile and start completely clean. No worries about backup here - everything is IMAP and calender is back-uped already. Thanks I have moved akonadi database from ~/.local/share/akonadi to another directory few days ago but it didn't help - I still have to kill and start akonadi every time. Note that removing database will at least mess up directories settings (sent, trash, etc. in identities and filters), so filters can move Your mail to more or less random directories. I have tried patching (https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/112062/) - Kmail did start about 15 seconds after logging in and I was able to read mail but I couldn't mark it as read or delete it - as if database became read-only. Also, I still wasn't able to stop and start akonadi from akonaditray - I had to kill it. There are so many corpses laying around. Arch Linux 64 bit, KDE 4.11.3, KMail 4.11.3, mysql 5.5.30 I don't know if this info is helpful in debugging but I see such a randomness in some other parts of KDE-4.11 too: Bug 328023, Bug 317894, random crashes in Plasma after log-in, random freezes after changing Desktop Effects with System Settings. Except for Bug 317894, none of them happened in KDE-4.10. I have the same problem since updating to Kubuntu 13.10. Since I found the pkill sequence mentioned I use it and it works. But its about 1 of 4 times I start my computer, that akonadi doesn't work. If there is anything I could test, please ask. I dont know if this is related to the problem: Starting Kontact I often get a message, that kmail incoming email filters missing an mail account to use. It shows a window asking to choose the account, but all my accounts are not shown. Either I click ok or esc afterwards the filter is deleted in kmail. I was wondering if that is connected to the problem, that akonadi recources doesn't sucessfully announce its service at the dbus. I just realized I have another problem, not related to akonadi but to iBus. I use an input method called fcitx for chinese input. After I installed Kubuntu 13.10 it has just the same problem like akonadi-server. It needs to get killed and started again, afterwards just running fine. Which means, this bug might be wrong here. sorry, I meant dBus, not iBus i see this bug only on one of my systems, my workaround is to kill akonadi_control and akonadiserver, but i have to do this after every reboot. My system is openSUSE 13.1, updated from 12.3 with 'zypper dup' Guys, can you please remove (or rename) file /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.Akonadi.Control.service ? I found out that the auto-start does not work (probably because env is not passed correctly with dbus invocation) and in some cases I believe it could lead to the situation when only akonadi_control and akonadiserver are running with broken dbus services. I renamed it but it didn't help The only difference is that now i have a second mysqld process that i have to kill Renaming it didn't work for me, either (though Akonadi successfully came up 4 out 5 times). I only had one mysqld process when it failed though, as before. Same here, renaming didn't change anything. After renaming the first start the problem appeared again. *** Bug 328119 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I have the same problem on a system running Kubuntu 13.10, with KDE 4.11.3 from the Kubuntu Backports PPA. just installed KDE 4.12 on kubuntu 13.10 amd64 and the problem still appears. sending SIGTERM to all akonadi processes (incl. mysql) and restarting kontact akonadi works again (until restarting the machine). Hi i take a look at the process list on my systems, btw found a second system with this problem. on the systems with this problem the PID of akonadi_control(4858) and akonadiserver (4859) is lower then the PID of dbus-daemon (4702) started by KDE both systems are updated from openSUSE 12.3 with 'zypper dup', my other systems without this problem are fresh installed with recycled $HOME, the PID of akonadi* are higher then of dbus-daemon so it looks for me, that something in the KDE-Start is wrong, it must be changed between openSUSE 12.3 and 13.1 sorry for my bad english, i'm willing to answer Mails in german Bernd @Bernd: Can't confirm that theory, unfortunately. The problem is occuring on my systems at random. I look at my Arch box and dbus-daemon has the PID 837 while akonadi_control has 1059 and akonadiserver1061 and still it fails to start any agents at random. And i still have a mysqlcheck zombie process lurking about. So far only the manual shutting down and restarting fixes it. @Jörg: possible two different problems? I just made a reboot after some updates from opensuse, akonadi has started successful the akonadi-*-PID (4759) are higher then dbus (4614) my akonadi-starts are fifty-fifty successful in the last days, so i can't find a solution for me :( @Jörg: i have no mysql zombies Hi all! Recently I updated KDE to version 4.11.4 (Gentoo Linux). So far, every time akonadi start without any problem. I also check PID. The Akonadi PID is higer than dbus. Very odd issue. Regards, Simon @Bernd: Interesting. My rate is about 50/50 as well. But i noticed it working everytime after a reboot but not always after a cold boot. @Simon: Mmh. Well 4.12 should be hitting my repos pretty soon. Let's see if that changes anything. @Jörg: yes, most(all) starts after reboot are successful, after cold boot not i've two system with the latest 4.12 installed. on one machine (at work) the problem occurs on every system start and on the second machine (at home) the problem does not occur at all. I'm running 4.11.3 on opensuse 13.1. After running kontact about 2-3 times, it refuses to start. Test 10: ERROR Akonadi control process not registered at D-Bus. Test 11: ERROR Akonadi server process not registered at D-Bus. I did a fresh install of suse 13.1 yesterday. I also started with a fresh end empty ~! I'm only using imap resources. On suse 12.3 Akonadi/Kontact was working nicely. after update to KDE 4.12.0 same problem, but ideas about the PIDs are completely useless so please ignore them It doesn't matter whether, if the PIDs are higher or lower I can confirm this bug on Arch Linux with KDE 4.11.4. Killing akonadi_control, akonadiserver and mysqld processes and restarting akonadi afterwards let akonadi run fine until the next reboot :) Hi all !! same problem after 13.10 upgrade (from 13.04). update 4.12 not solved it. I have the same problem on Fedora 20 (KDE 4.11.4), and had it on Fedora 19 for about a month. The only way to get akonadi work again is to remove all its config files, kill all akonadi-related processes and restart it. I'm not using Fedora, but I haven't found it necessary to remove Akonadi's config files to get it working. In case it helps, I am using Qt 4.8.5 and dbus 1.6.18 It is an nvidia signal processing issue which has been solved in a (yet unreleased) driver, see https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/659230/linux/331-20-on-x86_64-breaks-signal-processing-/ (and https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/638521/linux/gnome-terminal-problems-ctrl-c-and-exit/ and https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/633706/linux/recent-drivers-cause-applications-to-hang-not-start-at-all-or-compilation-failures/ and https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=487558) Fuchs Ok. I at least have a nvidia card in my system and the 331.20 driver installed. ok, also a nvidia card with manually installed 331.20 driver I also have nvidia 331-20, installed from Debian Experimental. Nvidia 319.60 here! For all of those who now commented with "yes, nvidia here!" and similar: it would probably be more helpful both for you and others if you actually did downgrade to the version I mentioned and see if the problem persists. If not: you got rid of the problem, people know what the cause is and they know a workaround until nvidia releases a new driver. Kind regards, Fuchs I downgraded to 325.15 and Akonadi started OK after two reboots and a logout-login. I'll tell you if the problem still happens with this driver. It'll take some time to be sure. BTW, nvidia-319.X may have bugs (https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/638521/linux/gnome-terminal-problems-ctrl-c-and-exit/). With nvidia-325.15, I've had several reboots, cold boots and log-ins, and Akonadi started well every time. BTW, most of the random problems I mentioned in Comment 25 were caused by nvidia-331.20 too. Even Amarok didn't exit on quitting sometimes. Thank you, Fuchs! I removed my nVidia card and the driver, and Akonadi starts OK now. I didn't experience the problems in the other reports in comment 52 of ^C not working in xterm (or Konsole, either). I have a suspicion that I was mistaken in comment 32 when I said that Akonadi only started 4 out of 5 times after renaming /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.Akonadi.Control.service. Testing now, I found I wasn't always allowing enough time, so "akonadictl status" might say "stopped", but a moment later it would say "running". . . I removed all proprietary Nvidia stuff and switched to using Nouveau drivers. Akonadi starts o.k.. No problems whatsoever so far. Seems the current Nvidia drivers were causing the troubles. Still I need the proprietary drivers for my CAD stuff. Maybe using Nvidia 325.15 is an "interim" option... No problems after the nvidia driver downgrade so far. Akonadi started consistently the last days. WTF is this bug? every month I can't use kontact because something is broken (akonadi, kmail, nepomuk, ...) and now it is the Nvidia driver? I have upgraded the nvidia driver to 331.20-3 on archlinux and upgraded to the newes kernel 3.12.6-1 after reboot akonadi seems to work now... @neutrino As you see, many users have confirmed that it's an nVidia bug, and it affects other apps too. So, the Akonadi devs can do nothing about it. I just wanted to point out, I'm affected by this bug and I'm not using the broken 331.20 nividia driver, I'm still on 319.60. This driver was working fine with KDE 4.10 and also akonadi was ok for me with KDE 4.10 and now I'm on KDE 4.11 and I'm encountering the problem. I have also no problems of other programs not starting, only akonadi needs a kick after a reboot of the system and on my system I can see akonadi processes running, they are just not responding properly. So there are actually two problems in this bug here. * One with the broken nvidia driver where the akonadi devs can't do anything * And the one that some others here and I'm facing where akonadi fails to register/respond properly at the dbus where I think the akonadi devs can do something, because this looks like a racing condition in the startup phase. I downgraded to 319.60 and i can still reproduce it I could n't reproduce it with nouveau (tested 1 time) I have this configuration: dkms-nvidia-current-319.60-1.mga3.nonfree nvidia-current-doc-html-319.60-1.mga3.nonfree nvidia-current-kernel-3.10.24-desktop-2.mga3-319.60-8.mga3.nonfree nvidia-current-kernel-3.10.25-desktop-1.mga3-319.60-9.mga3.nonfree nvidia-current-kernel-desktop-latest-319.60-9.mga3.nonfree x11-driver-video-nvidia-current-319.60-1.mga3.nonfree [dglent@localhost ~]$ uname -r 3.10.25-desktop-1.mga3 [dglent@localhost ~]$ Hi again, as mentioned in the reports linked, there are lots of different drivers affected, not only 331.20. So people experiencing this should down- / update to the also mentioned 325.15, as that is the only halfway recent driver that is known to work. If the problem still persists, then it's a different bug. Else it's quite probably this one, as it got confirmed not only by lots of users on different distributions but also by nvidia. Kind regards, Fuchs 331.20 was released on november 6 so it's probably not too long till we see a new driver. Here some more data points: I got the problem when migrating from OpenSuSE 12.3 to 13.1. I upgraded KDE from 4.11.4 to 4.12.0, the problem remained. I have installed Nvidia nvidia-gfxG03-kmp-desktop-331.20_k3.11.6_4-22.2.x86_64, nvidia-computeG03-331.20-22.1.x86_64 and x11-video-nvidiaG03-331.20-22.1.x86_64 from the OpenSuSE Build Service. But: I can run K-Mail (including the implicit start of akonadi) immediately (<10s) after having started the system and logged into my KDE session. Later than that akonadi does not start. So it might be a raise condition with other services. Thanks everyone for the input and for confirming this is caused by the nvidia driver. Those who still experience the bug with nvidia-319.xx (which reportedly should work) could you please try nouveau to make sure it's not yet another issue in the binary drivers? If you can reproduce the problem with nouveau, please open a new bug report. We will use this one to track only the nvidia-related issue. I'll close this as UPSTREAM, since we can't do anything about it. As recommended in comments above, either wait for nvidia to release an update, downgrade to nvdia-319.xx or switch to the open source nouveau driver.

Kind regards, Christian Nvidia released their binary driver version 331.38 on Jan 13th. Did anybody check it already? (last time I checked was with 331.20 which was giving troubles) (In reply to comment #72) Just checked it myself. No Suse packages yet. I used the binary installation file from Nvidia. So far it seems to work. Akonadi is up and running... does it still happen with this driver? http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/331.38/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-331.38-no-compat32.run I installed it about an hour ago (needless to say, there is no package for Fedora yet). Akonadi started seamlessly after a reboot. I updated to new driver from archlinux repository and i tried everything from logging off/logging back on and rebooting. no akonadi failures so far. Kubuntu 13.10 with KDE 4.12, just added the xorg-edgers PPA and updated to 331.38 and Akonadi is still not starting. openSUSE 13.1 with KDE 4.12.1 and Nvidia 331.38 driver installed 3 days ago and akonadi starts without any problem my problem is fixed thx Bernd Kubuntu 13.10 with KDE 4.12, just added the xorg-edgers PPA and updated to 331.38 and Akonadi is still not starting. Confirmed the fix on Fedora 20. As indicated no rpms yet. I also confirm that the issue is fixed, on Debian and with nVidia 331.38 from its Experimental repository. *** Bug 327411 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
