Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot: Operating System: KDE neon 6.3 KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.11.0 Qt Version: 6.8.2 Kernel Version: 6.11.0-19-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i5-6300U CPU @ 2.40GHz Memory: 7.6 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 520 Manufacturer: Dell Inc. Product Name: Latitude 5480 Having the same issue. Also having the same issue, though on Fedora. Operating System: Fedora Linux 42 KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.14.0 Qt Version: 6.9.0 Kernel Version: 6.14.6-300.fc42.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Yep, on Fedora 42 these notifications seem to be often recurring after login: akonadi_migration_agent PIM Maintenance finished Numerous reports of confused/annoyed users: - https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/1mwjk8l/akonadi_pim_maintenance_finished_notification_on/ - https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/1n48rol/akonadi_migration_agent_starts_with_system_every/ - https://forums.opensuse.org/t/akonadi-migration-pim-maintenance-finished/170242 - https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/1hvvd2l/akonadi_migration_agent_message_on_every_login/ - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1716005 - https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/tests/3440639#step/desktop_notifications/19 It's unclear whether that notification coming up sometimes on EVERY login is intentional or not. On other machines it only appears from time to time. But clearly from user's perspective that notification is cryptic and useless, they might think something is broken if anything. It seems that reportedly removing akonadi entries in ~/.cache helps with the recurrence of that notification on every login if it doesn't go away on its own? This bug might be a duplicate of bug 418727. A temporary(?) solution to the problem which worked for me is to create file ~/.config/akonadi/mysql-local.conf with contents: [mysqld] innodb_log_buffer_size=2M One-liner: echo -e '[mysqld]\ninnodb_log_buffer_size=2m' >~/.config/akonadi/mysql-local.conf Credit to s2kfred at https://old.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/1ek18hw/akonadi_migration_agent_process_wont_end_how_to/ (In reply to d-koc from comment #5) > This bug might be a duplicate of bug 418727. > > A temporary(?) solution to the problem which worked for me is to create file > ~/.config/akonadi/mysql-local.conf with contents: > [mysqld] > innodb_log_buffer_size=2M > > One-liner: > echo -e '[mysqld]\ninnodb_log_buffer_size=2m' > >~/.config/akonadi/mysql-local.conf > > Credit to s2kfred at > https://old.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/1ek18hw/ > akonadi_migration_agent_process_wont_end_how_to/ Update: Doing this has NOT fixed the issue for me. However, I also cannot reproduce it consistently. It may still be worth trying on your system to see if it works. I have not tried clearing the entire cache; I would prefer to find a consistent repro to attempt to fix the issue in a less extreme fashion. |
