I installed Kubuntu 15.04 with KDE SC 5.13 from scratch on a fresh SSD and placed the file with the old notes (notes.ics) from my backup in .kde/share/apps/knotes. At first start of knotes the migration tool starts, but fails: martin@martin-desktop:~$ knotes(2563)/libakonadi Akonadi::EntityTreeModelPrivate::finalCollectionFetchJobDone: "Unbekannter Fehler." knotes(2563)/libakonadi Akonadi::EntityTreeModelPrivate::collectionFetchJobDone: Job error: "Unbekannter Fehler." for collection: () I can create new notes, which are placed in .local/share/notes, although there is no .kde/share/config/kresources/notes/stdrc. (Should there be such a file in KDE 5?) What can I do to get my old notes back? They include important things I need daily. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: akonadictl stop deleted ~/.local/share/akonadi deleted ~/.config/akonadi deleted ~/.kde/share/config/akonadi* akonadictl start recreated resources for knotes in kontact deleted ~/.kde/share/config/knotes-migratorrc started knotes again Actual Results: same result Expected Results: I expected a successful migration
Just a note: knotes-migratorrc is not involved in the 4.14 -> 5.xx migration. If you want to migrate again, renaming ~/.config/knotesrc then running knotes should trigger the migration.
(also note the new default location for notes is $HOME/.local/share/notes/)
Another note: (In reply to Martin Dauskardt from comment #0) > I can create new notes, which are placed in .local/share/notes, although > there is no .kde/share/config/kresources/notes/stdrc. (Should there be such > a file in KDE 5?) No, there should not be such a file in KDE 5. But that file was used in KNotes < 4.13 (like ~/.kde/share/apps/knotes/notes.ics), you need it for migrating from KNotes < 4.13, which is what you actually want to do. (kde/share/apps/knotes/notes.,ics) So, copy over ~/.kde/share/config/kresources/notes/stdrc too (or create it from scratch), and the notes should be migrated. An example content, if you need it: [General] PassiveResourceKeys= ResourceKeys=aEJOauTlK8 Standard=aEJOauTlK8 [Resource_aEJOauTlK8] NotesURL[$e]=file://$HOME/.kde/share/apps/knotes/notes.ics ResourceIdentifier=aEJOauTlK8 ResourceIsActive=true ResourceIsReadOnly=false ResourceName=Notes ResourceType=file Btw., as a KF5 based KNotes has not been released yet, you are probably using the latest KDE4 version 4.14.x. So you do need to delete ~/.kde/share/config/knotes-migratorrc to retrigger the migration.
Thank you for reporting this bug in KDE software. As it has been a while since this issue was reported and confirmed, can we please ask you to see if you can reproduce the issue with a recent software version? If you can reproduce the issue, please change the status to "CONFIRMED" when replying. Thank you!
Because of this and similar issues with KDE I switched to Xfce many years ago. So I can't do further tests.
