Description redcap 2014-10-12 18:50:07 UTC

I updated the akonadi-server package to version 1.12.1-r1 from the Gentoo repo. After rebooting the akonadi-server refuses to start. I use an internal MySql Server as a database backend. Starting the akonadi sever from a console using "akonadictl start" shows that creating the table akonadi.parttable fails.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to start akonadi-server or any PIM application that uses it


Actual Results:  
See attached files below

Expected Results:  
Akonadi server should start normally.

Comment 3 Beetle B. 2015-02-07 06:08:23 UTC

I have this exact same problem.

I thought it may be due to myisam, but mine are all innodb.

I haven't been able to get people's contact info from Kaddressbook for the last few months, and it is frustrating.

Any suggestions on how I can extract the contact info? I need this badly!

Also, see this thread:

Comment 4 Denis Kurz 2016-09-24 20:38:06 UTC

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.

akonadi version:

akonadi-server-1.13.1_pre20160203-r1

KDE PIM version:

4.14.11_pre20160211

I cannot get it to start:

Comment 7 Denis Kurz 2017-01-08 00:06:29 UTC

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.

Beetle: Sorry, the version you use is still much too old.
