Description mattias.lundahl 2024-03-01 19:34:34 UTC

SUMMARY
After upgrading from 5.27 to 6.0, it seems akonadi isn't working.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Upgrade from 5.27 to 6.0
2. Reboot
3. Try to start akonadi

OBSERVED RESULT
I run akonadictl start in the terminal and get the following:

mattias@XPS15:~$ akonadictl start
org.kde.pim.akonadictl: Starting Akonadi Server...
org.kde.pim.akonadictl:    done.
mattias@XPS15:~$ Connecting to deprecated signal QDBusConnectionInterface::serviceOwnerChanged(QString,QString,QString)
org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: Starting up the Akonadi Server...

org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: Shutting down AkonadiServer...
org.kde.pim.akonadicontrol: Application '/usr/bin/akonadiserver' exited normally...


I tried running sudo pkcon install mysqld, but I just get the following:

mattias@XPS15:~$ sudo pkcon install mysqld
[sudo] password for mattias:

EXPECTED RESULT
akonadi should start

Comment 3 domhans 2024-03-06 12:08:12 UTC

Hi, I have similar issues with akonadi after upgrading to Plama 6 in kde neon.
Although akonadi seems to basically works, kmail is widely broken:
- my gmail does not work any more
- my work ews (outlook) account only fetches mails after a manual 'try connect' following authentication. Sending amil works randomly, mainly not
- akonadictl fsck & akonadictl vacuum does nothin/ holds without any output

thank you
dom

Is sudo pkcon install akonadi-backend-mysql the recommended fix??
