[opensuse] Nepomuk , cryptic error informatiom
After I have been pestered long enough by Nepomuk, even if it should not work, I finally decided to let it run. Problem up to now, the results of the akonadi test which can be only dealt with by closing the info window after which I have to restart KMail again. Now the box of Nepomuk is ticked and I would expect to get the akonadi/nepomuk thingy to work. I still get the akonadi test with the info that there is an error after which I have to close the program and restart kmail in order to write this email to the list. The error information is as follows: 100813 13:18:08 [Note] Plugin 'ndbcluster' is disabled. 100813 13:18:08 InnoDB: Started; log sequence number 0 548330 100813 13:18:08 [Warning] Can't open and lock time zone table: Table 'mysql.time_zone_leap_second' doesn't exist trying to live without them 100813 13:18:08 [ERROR] Can't open and lock privilege tables: Table 'mysql.servers' doesn't exist 100813 13:18:08 [Note] /usr/sbin/mysqld: ready for connections.

KMail now uses Akonadi for address book lookups. Akonadi uses a database as a cache for the data it provides access to. We discovered during the development of 11.3 that the MySQL we ship requires an extra initialization step than was porvided by Akonadi, and added a patch to perform this initialization if needed on startup. I'm not sure why you are still getting this error if you are using the distro and KDE mentioned in your signature. Even if you imported your $HOME from a previous installation or KDE version, it should create the mysql.* tables that the errors above mention. You should be able to fix the error by either: (purge the akonadi cache and allow it to be regenerated) 1) quit kmail, kontact, korganizer, kaddressbook etc 2) do "akonadictl stop" 3) rm -rf ~/.local/share/akonadi ~/.config/akonadi 4) start kmail or (fix the existing setup) 1) "mysql_install_db --datadir=$HOME/.local/share/akonadi/db_data" Please let me know if you still have problems after carrying out either of these.

Dear Will, Ran in the last couple of days LXDE because it is faster on my machine. Just ran KDE and the pestering does not show up. Do not see any activity though. Does Nepomuk automatically start working? And where can I see results? Will have to contact the LXDE list because nothing of your proposed solutions worked in LXDE. Or could you contact Andrea Florio? -- Linux User 183145 using LXDE on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 11.3 (i586) Kernel: 2.6.34-12-default LXDE WM & KDE Development Platform: 4.5.00 (KDE 4.5.0) 21:48pm up 5:50, 3 users, load average: 1.15, 1.15, 1.26 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

The error message you cited is from Akonadi, not Nepomuk. Akonadi is started as soon as an application that uses it starts (eg kmail, kaddressbook, some KRunner plugins that are disabled in the default 11.3 install to prevent Akonadi startup on desktop login).
And where can I see results? Will have to contact the LXDE list because nothing of your proposed solutions worked in LXDE.
Ok that's more information. You'll have to tell me more about exactly how to trigger the error message so i can understand how it's going wrong.
Or could you contact Andrea Florio?
I suspect that you are the essential link in finding a solution to this problem, since you are using LXDE and KMail apps.

After any zypper dup after which I receive the info form zypper ps that a lot of programs should be restarted, in most cases I go back with Ctrl Alt Backspace and restart the desktop. Sometimes I just relogin. After coming back at LXDE (very fast :) ) I restart KMail. KMail is there very fast. It request Wallet and after giving the password for Wallet I see a small window which shows that Akonadi is working. After some time I get the results of the Akonadi self test. In some cases I got no red marks on the checking points but the NPK will not start. In most cases I get :NPK search service not registered at D-Bus. In both cases I can only proceed by closing the self test window which kills KMail. A new start from KMail works after that without problems. A behavior just as I originally had with KDE :( -- Linux User 183145 using LXDE on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 11.3 (i586) Kernel: 2.6.34-12-default LXDE WM & KDE Development Platform: 4.5.00 (KDE 4.5.0) 22:53pm up 6:55, 2 users, load average: 0.13, 0.32, 0.51 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
