Version: (using KDE 4.4.0) OS: Linux Installed from: Fedora RPMs I received an email in Kontact and attempted to add the address to my akonadi address book by right-clicking the address and selecting "Add to Address Book" The Pop-up window doesn't list any folders or address books. If I do the same steps after starting just Kmail it works perfectly and Kmail shows the akonadi address books.
Same problem here. Using Karmic Kubuntu PPA backports kmail, kaddressbook @ 4:4.4.1a-0ubuntu1~karmic1~ppa2 I don't know the steps to reproduce, the addressbook just disappears after a while (a long while, i.e. several hours)
Oh, and this is probably related: When doubleclicking a contact in the contact list, the contact details view opens, but with none of the fields filled in
Me too, KDE 4.4.0 - 4.4.2.
Same problem here, first using karmic and now with lucid (Kubuntu) with KDE 4.4.2. I use KAddressbook embedded in Kontact. I open Kontact as soon as I log in and keep it always opened. Right after I open it, KAddressbook works as expected. However, after an hour or two, I can't see the details of my contacts anymore. It still displays the contacts list, but when I click any of them, nothing is displayed in the details pane. Also, if I double click them, the edit contact window is displayed with all fields blank. If I close Kontact and open it again, or if I stop akonadi and start it again, KAddressbook will resume working. It seems akonadi stops responding after some time it is running, but it does not die, because KAddressbook knows it is running even when it cannot display the contacts details (when I stop akonadi, KAddressbook immediately reports akonadi is unavailable). Also, even when Akonadi is not responding, kmail's autocomplete feature still works when I'm filling up a contact name in a new e-mail's TO: field. Indeed, it even suggests addresses that are not in my address book anymore. So, it seems the address book kmail is using is not the same KAddressbook is using. How can this be? I can't find any address book related settings in kmail configuration. I did not create any akonadi address book manually. KAddressbook and Kmail are behaving like that since my addresss book was automatically migrated to akonadi in one of KDE's upgrades.
Hej, this is a problem with a timeout in mysqld, which dropps the connection if there is no activity. To solve this problem, add the following line to your $HOME/.local/share/akonadi/mysql.conf: wait_timeout=1296000 and restart Akonadi with 'akonadictl restart'. This bug has been fixed in SVN trunk already. Ciao, Tobias
So this will basically postpone he problem for 15 days? Isn't it better to have akonadi reopen the connection once it has lost it (and needs it again)?
