Sometimes I get this kind of message popup on my screen. Usually it indicates an application name (e.g. Plasma-Workspace-Environment, or KOrganizer-Service) and the error message "Unable to fetch item from backend". Occasionally there are also numbers such as Resource -32, item 1. This type of message is useless to me. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Read the popup message Actual Results: Uninformative text. Expected Results: It should say at the minimum: a) What resource is supposed to be fetched. b) Why it doesn't succeed - does it not exist? is it locked? is the query malformed? c) What is the context of this error, i.e. as a consequence of this message, what part of my system is going to have a problem?
I agree with the original reporter. Would be much easier to figure out what is going on, if the message would contain more information.
This bug has only been reported for versions older than KDEPIM 4.14 (at most akonadi-1.3). Can anyone tell if this bug still present? If noone confirms this bug for a recent version of akonadi (part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months.
Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
