I am running Slackware 14 with KDE desktop. After running an update whilst
inadvertently logged into K-Mail Akonadi will not run and K-mail is not
functioning correctly.
The Akonadi error log is as follows:
Database process exited unexpectedly during initial connection!
executable: "/usr/libexec/mysqld"
arguments: ("--defaults-file=/root/.local/share/akonadi/mysql.conf",
"--datadir=/root/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/",
"--socket=/root/.local/share/akonadi/socket-Server/mysql.socket")
stdout: ""

Following instructions on the MySQL site on how to run this as root I try
to shut the server down with "mysqladmin shutdown" but only get the message:
"mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket:
'/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock' exists!"
When I look in /var/run/mysql/ there is nothing! In
Home/.local/share/akonadi/ there is a file mysql.conf that suggests that it
has its own version but both akonadiserver.socket and mysql.socket are
files with 0 bytes.
Can anybody help as I am at the limits of my understanding on this.
Iain
