At first, please excuse me, that I've not checked the Emails before. But some days, I fight with kmail/kontact.
History: I update the openSUSE 11.3 KDE Factory Repository to the KDE 4.6 Beta 1. At the first restart from my desktop, the System converts my Email and some other things. But the conversion crashes. But the Email works some days fine. Only the passwords from my Email accounts (which are stored before in kwallet) must be set new.
Firstly 4.6 Beta 1 is not recommended for production use! You may lose data. If this is a problem use KDE 4.5 from KDE:Release:45 instead.
After a system crash, with a hard reboot, akonadi doesn’t work. At first it crashed with mySQL/InnoDB problems. But this problems are known from the Version before (kadressbok) and after reading from some Akonadi pages and "Googling". I do my normal work, to bring up Akonadi (root on my PC have nobody rights in my Home - so I mount it via NFS from my Server):
akonadictl stop qdbus org.kde.NepomukServer /nepomukserver org.kde.NepomukServer.quit rm ${HOME}/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/ib* rm ${HOME}/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/.nfs000* rm ${HOME}/.local/share/akonadi/db_misc/mysql.socket chmod -R a+rw ${HOME}/.local chmod -R a+rw ${HOME}/.config find ${HOME}/.local -type d -exec chmod a+rwx {} \; find ${HOME}/.config -type d -exec chmod a+rwx {} \; su -c 'rcmysql restart' mysql_install_db --datadir=${MyHome}/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/ sleep 15s chmod -R a+rw ${HOME}/.local/share/akonadi/* sleep 15s akonadictl start &> ${HOME}/akonadilog & (akonadiconsole || chmod -R a+rw ${HOME}/.local/share/akonadi/* )&
But it doesn’t work now. So I rename the ${HOME}/.local/share/akonadi and restart the System. Know Akonadi works fine, but kmail/kontact crashes with a generally error message (aditional some knotify - crash messages pops on the screen).
What is the crash backtrace?
If I look in the Akonadi Server settings, the entrys from Nepomuk are not available, but in the akonadiconsole, this are present. I removed in the akonadiconsole all entry’s, which are not mandatory needed (only the POP and IMAP mailsetting are not removed). But I can't add the Nepomuk Email search, it's light gray and can't be selected).
Is Nepomuk enabled? (Desktop Search settings) Is the user's $HOME on an NFS share? This can give problems as mysql does not support having its database on a share. The solution would be to symlink $HOME/.local/share/akonadi somewhere local. Otherwise, I'm confused as to whether you are running KDE as root, or just the mysql server used by Akonadi. Normally KMail/Kontact starts Akonadi which runs its own instance of mysql (as the same use). Therefore rcmysql restart has no effect. It is possible to use a separate (system) mysql instance but I won't support this configuration.
