Akonadi doesn't use the system postgres but runs its own instance. That's why the db lives in $HOME/.local/share/akonadi/db_data. Whatever lives in var/lib/pgsql is not your akonadi DB. > QSqlDatabase: QPSQL driver not loaded This looks more interesting. Is libQt5Sql5-postgresql installed on your system?

Yes, once your database is migrated and functional, you can uninstall old versions. |
Many years ago i migrated to using Postgresql 9.6 . I've since then updated the DB to postgresql10, 11, 12 until ver 13 which i have been using until now. I did try updating to ver 14 but it failed with locale issues during the update and i couldn't get a resolution. I've been without mail for a week now trying to get answers from support lists, unfortunately no-one has a solution I just recently managed to get the database converted from postgresql13 to postgresql16 and the data was transferred to the new DB with no issues. I can't get Akonadi to load as it fails to start postgresql16, its failing with a message saying it needs postgesql9.6 as the DB was originally created using 9.6. Help from Postgresql-novice mailing list (and Reinhard Max in opensuse buglist) identified that the postgresql-script is accessing /var/lib/pgsql/data and referencing the PG_VERSION file in that directory and it contains 9.6. I can't see how this wasn't updated as each new version of Postgresql was installed. I can't even install Ver 9.6 to see if that cures the problem as its no longer in the opensuse repos. Can anyone see a solution ? i was thinking of uninstalling every version of Postgresql and deleting /var/lib/pgsql/data directory manually if it doesn't disappear during the postgresql uninstall process. I can then reinstall postgresql16 and hopefully it'll work again. -------------- the section below lists: 1. my process to convert DB. 2. cli errors for ankonadictl start 3. errors in journal ---------- I update the DB manually via scripts with one file per action. 1. Backup akonadictl stop # copy for backup cp -R $HOME/.local/share/akonadi/db_data $HOME/.local/share/akonadi/db_data_13 # rename so no db_data exists mv $HOME/.local/share/akonadi/db_data $HOME/.local/share/akonadi/db_data_old 2. Create new DB /usr/lib/postgresql16/bin/initdb --pgdata=$HOME/.local/share/akonadi/db_data --lc-collate=en_US.UTF-8 --locale=en_US.UTF-8 3. Check upgrade /usr/lib/postgresql16/bin/pg_upgrade -b /usr/lib/postgresql13/bin -B /usr/lib/ postgresql16/bin -d $HOME/.local/share/akonadi/db_data_13 -D $HOME/.local/ share/akonadi/db_data --check 4. Do the upgrade if "3" worked okay /usr/lib/postgresql16/bin/pg_upgrade -b /usr/lib/postgresql13/bin -B /usr/lib/ postgresql16/bin -d $HOME/.local/share/akonadi/db_data_13 -D $HOME/.local/ share/akonadi/db_data -------------- the section list errors from "akonadi start" ---------- ~:> akonadictl start org.kde.pim.akonadictl: Starting Akonadi Server... org.kde.pim.akonadictl: done. ~> Connecting to deprecated signal QDBusConnectionInterface::serviceOwnerChanged(QString,QString,QString) org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: Starting up the Akonadi Server...
