Version: (using KDE 4.2.4) OS: Linux Installed from: Slackware Packages Akonadi server cannot startAkonadi Server Self-Test Report =============================== Test 1: SUCCESS -------- Database driver found. Details: The QtSQL driver 'QMYSQL' is required by your current Akonadi server configuration. The following drivers are installed: QSQLITE, QMYSQL3, QMYSQL. Make sure the required driver is installed. File content of '/root/.config/akonadi/akonadiserverrc': [%General] Driver=QMYSQL [QMYSQL] Name=akonadi User= Password= Options="UNIX_SOCKET=/root/.local/share/akonadi/db_misc/mysql.socket" ServerPath=/usr/libexec/mysqld StartServer=true Test 2: SUCCESS -------- MySQL server found. Details: You currently have configured Akonadi to use the MySQL server '/usr/libexec/mysqld'. Make sure you have the MySQL server installed, set the correct path and ensure you have the necessary read and execution rights on the server executable. The server executable is typically called 'mysqld', its locations varies depending on the distribution. Test 3: SUCCESS -------- MySQL server is executable.

Result: Akonadi Control: stopped Akonadi Server: stopped Test 9: ERROR -------- Akonadi control process not registered at D-Bus. Details: The Akonadi control process is not registered at D-Bus which typically means it was not started or encountered a fatal error during startup. Test 10: ERROR -------- Akonadi server process not registered at D-Bus. Details: The Akonadi server process is not registered at D-Bus which typically means it was not started or encountered a fatal error during startup.

Sorry, this is the first time I saw the detailed report. I might be able to do something after looking at it.
4.2.x is a bit "old", but may be the information is still useful to the Akonadi developers.Regards
Hmm, you are running KDE as root user? Except from the point that one shouldn't use X as user root for security reasons, the current version of Akonadi warns you now on startup...
