I was trying to get kmail working since my upgrade to 4.10. I never got it working in 4.8.4 either, with similar errors. I looked online, but akonadi troubleshooting tips are all over the board. I found some for 4.3, and on the KDE wiki has one troubleshooting tip for "Can't read any details of some messages or big delays to read it" so I thought I would ask here.
When I opened kmail, it tried to transition to 4.10, and the first step was to start akonadi. It failed after a few minutes. Tests 1, 2, and 6 passed, tests 3, 4, and 5 (the mysql stuff) were untested. Test 7: ERROR -------- Akonadi control process not registered at D-Bus. Details: The Akonadi control process is not registered at D-Bus which typically means it was not started or encountered a fatal error during startup. Test 8: ERROR -------- Akonadi server process not registered at D-Bus. Details: The Akonadi server process is not registered at D-Bus which typically means it was not started or encountered a fatal error during startup. Test 9: ERROR -------- Nepomuk search service not registered at D-Bus. Details: The Nepomuk search service is not registered at D-Bus which typically means it was not started or encountered a fatal error during startup. Test 10: SKIP -------- Protocol version check not possible. Details: Without a connection to the server it is not possible to check if the protocol version meets the requirements. Test 11: ERROR -------- No resource agents found. Details: No resource agents have been found, Akonadi is not usable without at least one. This usually means that no resource agents are installed or that there is a setup problem. The following paths have been searched: '/usr/share/akonadi/agents'. The XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable is set to '/usr/share:/usr/share:/usr/local/share'; make sure this includes all paths where Akonadi agents are installed.

The log can be found in <a href='/home/storm/.local/share/akonadi/akonadiserver.error'>/home/storm/.local/share/akonadi/akonadiserver.error</a>.

Details: The Akonadi control process did not report any errors during its previous startup. Now in the error log, I see lines like Database error: Cannot open database. Last driver error: "QMYSQL: Unable to connect" Last database error: "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/home/storm/.local/share/akonadi/socket-defiant/mysql.socket' (2)" Unable to open database "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/home/storm/.local/share/akonadi/socket-defiant/mysql.socket' (2) QMYSQL: Unable to connect" "[ 0: akonadiserver() [0x418114] 1: akonadiserver() [0x418541] 2: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(+0x35260) [0x7f8236c4f260] 3: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(gsignal+0x35) [0x7f8236c4f1e5] 4: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(abort+0x148) [0x7f8236c52398] 5: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQtCore.so.4(_Z17qt_message_output9QtMsgTypePKc+0x102) [0x7f82386f8912] 6: akonadiserver() [0x41a3eb] 7: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQtCore.so.4(_ZN9QIODevice5writeEPKcx+0xb0) [0x7f8238793190] 8: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQtCore.so.4(+0x11858d) [0x7f82387a058d] 9: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQtCore.so.4(_ZN11QTextStreamD1Ev+0x33) [0x7f82387a9173] 10: akonadiserver() [0x41d2cd] 11: akonadiserver() [0x41e487] 12: akonadiserver() [0x411f43] 13: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5) [0x7f8236c3b995] 14: akonadiserver() [0x4128d1] ] Is there a config file that I should get rid of and just let it configure from defaults? I tried dpkg-reconfigure akonadi-backend-sqlite akonadi-server akonadiconsole but it had the same behavior after doing so. Thanks, --b
