Is there anything special in your dmesg output after running akonadictl start ?
Yes, in my dmesg I see the following. [Sat Jun 9 10:26:18 2018] audit: type=1400 audit(1528636826.531:499): apparmor="DENIED" operation="open" profile="/usr/sbin/mysqld-akonadi///usr/sbin/mysqld" name="/etc/mysql/mariadb.cnf" pid=4525 comm="mysqld" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=1000 ouid=0
The ubuntu people never learn... Try that please: sudo aa-complain mysqld then retry akonadictl start
forgot one command, sorry : sudo aa-complain mysqld sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor reload and akonadictl start after that
and if that's still not enough, also run: sudo aa-complain mysqld-akonadi and sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor reload
Ping? any news?
Apologies for the delay. aa-complain didn't work until I installed apparmor-utils. Then it failed because mysqld wasn't found. I don't appear to have mysql server installed. Looks like I've got mariadb installed. alan@KinkPad-K450:~$ dpkg -S /usr/sbin/mysqld mariadb-server-core-10.0: /usr/sbin/mysqld alan@KinkPad-K450:~$ sudo aa-complain mysqld Profile for /usr/sbin/mysqld not found, skipping
Any luck with sudo aa-complain mysqld-akonadi ?

Curious. does mkdir -p /home/alan/.local/share/akonadi/db_data succeed? sounds like it couldn't be created (permissions/owner problems maybe?)

mmmh.. ok, try: - renaming ~/.config/akonadi and ~/.local/share/akonadi - then, if it's installed, run kdebugsettings and click on the "enable all debug" - and finally run akonadictl start and attach the full output please.
