Is the addressbook you select marked read-only in its properties? I cannot reproduce this with 11.3 default or the KDE:Distro:Stable packages I am preparing for an online update with. I am presuming you mean /home/Prexy/.local/share/contacts. When opening kaddressbook, this is called akonadi. I also have default for an addressbook but it is not selected. Checking on /home/Prexy/.local/share/contacts, the "Read only" box is not checked. Using dolphin and selecting the contacts folder, only the owner (me) was allowed write access. I changed this to allow everyone write access and apply to all subfolders and files.

Opening kaddressbook, Groups (or add new group) is available until I select an addressbook. Then the group option immediately grays out. This is the same as before. Am I checking the right place for permissions? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I meant in the Address Book Properties dialog you see when you right click an address book. Can you check that?

I assumed that your file system is owned by and read-write for your KDE user.

I was able to reproduce this with a vcard file resource however, which seems to have forgotten the path to the vcard file. Investigating further.

Right-clicking on either addressbook brings up a dialog box that I see when I click on the address book properties "wrench" in upper right of kaddressbook window. Checking both addressbooks, Read-only box is NOT checked. I see no other place to check or change permissions in this dialog box. Both addressbook folders contain vcf files. Was there another way to import the old address entries? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I am up to 4.5.3 (KDE 4.5.3) "release 8" and kernel 2.6.34.7-0.5-default i686. Is there any other info I can supply which might be of help? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

If you create an entirely new user, can you create and populate groups?

I tried 2 things. First, cause it was easier, I tried to use kaddressbook as root. That failed because of akonadi problems. I then created a user and opened kaddressbook. That preselected the "Personal Contacts" type of address book. It allowed me to enter contacts and create a new group "Family" and add some contacts to that group. I did not think to try to import my big contacts file, which is vcard. I tried this in vbox running 11.4 M3 with the same result. Also, I could not figure out how to add more contacts to my existing group. I created a new group and added 2 contacts. But I could see anyway to add more once the group had been created. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

That allows me add new groups. I did not have to "populate" this new addressbook with entries to create a group and add members. The members of the new group were drawn from the akonadi addressbook. My "Personal Contacts" addressbook has only one member and that is the group I created. Selecting the akonadi addressbook or the so-called "default" addressbook no longer grays out the "new group" option. However, when the dialog box opens to create a new group, the only option is to create it the Personal Contacts addressbook and not akonadi or default. Is this expected behavior and I have been doing it wrong all this time? I can use this behavior as a work around but it requires that I change addressbook selection each time I want to look up a group. Thanks for the invitation to IRC but I think it has been 20 years since I last used IRC and I don't remember how! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
