Being offensive doesn't help to encourage developers to fix problems.

So lets try to avoid the emotive nonsense and try for something that might help to get the issues fixed.

Which version of KAddressBook are you using?

Which version of KOrganizer are you using?

Which "events" plasmoid are you referring to?

Brad, sorry that i become angry, but i find this higly frustrating. I was about to try writing some patches for a plasmoid (listed below) showing events from plasma, but i have to give up on that for now, including using that very nice applet.

My kde version is 4.3.3.
Korganizer is 4.3.3
Mysql is 5.1.39 or 5.1.41 (both have these problems after updating akonadi: [2009-11-20 23:43] upgraded akonadi (1.2.1-1 -> 1.2.1-2)

However, the feeling that akonadi actually worked lasted only part of one kde session, in which i had to remove all the automatically added resources and add them manually.

I have two applets displaying data from akonadi:
http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/Eventlist?content=107779
TODO applet v. 0.1  (kdemod-extragear-plasmoid-todo 0.2.1-4 - the 0.1 is in the information dialog in the plasma add widgets function)

The eventlist applet which provides a plasma data engine for events. It worked fine as long as my akonadi resources was populated, so i doubt the problem is there.

The TODO applet worked probably as well as expected, while the akonadi resources was populated.

During akonadi server startup i see various errors, qfilewatcher fails with /usr/bin/akonadi* and sometimes some mysql errors about duplicate primary key entries, which is odd given the akonadiconsole db browser shows that those tables are empty.

Please request any other information that could be helpful.

After grepping KDEDIR/share for "akonadi" and removing all infected files and keys (except for kapptemplate files) in addition to akonadis own files (in .local and .config), i tried restarting my session again. I believe that a key file herer is kres-migrationrc.

Nice dialog telling that each of my resources was migrated.

Akonadiconsole contains all my resources.

There are NO data.

Korganizer and kaddressbook appears unaffected, still using the old style resources.

My .xsession-errors contains the following relevant output:

This continues with many more similar sections

Trying with a completely new user yelds similar results as the above.

I noticed that while in kontact i had one calendar and one addressbook, i had two of each in akonadiconsole.

I tried adding a few events, but the data browser does not show any data at all.

Hej Anders,

do you still face these problems with 4.4.1?

Ciao,
Tobias

I haven't tried adding korganizer resources, but i can.

Akonadi often fails starting at all, showing a dialog that i really do not think is useful for end users. what it says is most often that there were errors in the logs. Sometimes this prevents akonadi from starting, sometimes not.

Sometimes my addressbook is populated, sometimes not (no evident connection to weather akonadi is loaded, except no adressees if not). Restarting akonadi sometimes helps sometimes restarting kontact is required too.

Korganizer decided to show the selection dialog for which instances of repeated events to edit again, which is very, very good as i use repeated events a lot <3 <3 <3 But that may be a result of my resources in korganizer not being akonadified, they do not look like they are when i edit them. And afaik korganizer is not officially switched to akonadi anyways?

I dropped the plasmoid, because it would make my desktop take 1938329323 to load, and often not even worked.

I think many problems is related to dbus?

I believe that logging out and then back in sometimes causes problems.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!

This bug is from 2009/10, and probably not relevant any longer. I'm nor really using kaddressbook any longer, but the parts of akonadi I do use mostly works.
