Created attachment 112395 [details] Screnschotts I download latest KDE Neon user edition - 3 may 2018. And i wants install and run Kontact. And i have error - see screenshots into zip file. This same error i have in fresh install Manjaro, Netrunner - pradably everyone distro.
Could you please try starting Akonadi from the Konsole? It should then show a detailed log. Use: akonadictl start More information is available at https://userbase.kde.org/Akonadi and https://techbase.kde.org/KDE_PIM/Akonadi Please do not use the Keywords and Alias fields, they are assigned by developers.

This same eroor in ewery distro in KDE.
Do not start akonadi as root.
I know. This its live KDE Neon. No change to root.
Same here on KDE Neon and other distros after the KDE applications upgrade to 18.04. This is from the PCLinucOs forum, TEX (admin) wrote: Good deal. We have been configuring akonadi to place the mysql-global.conf file in the /etc/akonadi folder but 18.04.0 can't find it there so I just let akonadi tell me where it wants it to be. Bernd
When can you expect a patch? For now I have uninstalled KDE Neon and changed to KUbuntu (older KDE and Akonadi works), but KDE Neon is better and wants to come back. By the way - can I copy KMail configuration files after I return to KDE Neon to quickly migrate to KDE Neon from Kubuntu? Where all account configuration files, attachment files, message templates, etc. are kept. He would get them out of Kubuntu and transfer them to Neon as I install him. I have 6 e-mail accounts - the setting of all this is a lot of work.

A workaround is to manually create the folder ~/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/ *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 392948 ***
