I had to deal with this with Mandriva when I first moved to KDE4.4.  This 
usually means Akonadi can't find the mysql server.  I ended up creating a 
database for it on a remote mysql server, but you can also do this locally.

I believe mysql should've been installed as a dependency of Akonadi.  You can 
try starting mysql (at the command line 'service mysql start') and then 
attempt running Akonadi again.

Also, Akonadi SHOULD give you a readout of why it cannot start if you go to 
System Settings>Advanced>Akonadi Configuration>Akonadi Server Config tab, and 
select either "Test" or "Start"

On a side note, I expected to have to deal with this myself, as I knew that 
with 4.4, kmail has an attachment with Akonadi.  But, mysteriously, I have NOT 
had to deal with this...not really sure why.  --**EDIT**-- Actually I've just 
discovered that Akonadi is in fact running on my system.  I did NOT configure 
it, and it is mysql is running locally, so apparently this was all done 
automatically.

I'd suggest you install mysql if it is not already, then try to start Akonadi 
again.

Oops, I meant to say 'service msqyld start'.  Notice the "mysqld" instead of 
"mysql".  

In any case, since you're able to see that mysql is in fact running (if you 
run "pgrep mysql" it should return a PID, I'm sure you know this), that may 
not be the issue.

I'd love to see the output of Akonadi when you try to start it via GUI (using 
the method I gave you above).  It'll give you a nice little list of the things 
it could do and the things that it could not do and need to be fixed.  It will 
usually show errors with mysql or d-bus...that way we could narrow it down.

Also, here is a link to a few sites I had used when I was going through this 
same problem.  The first is from Mandriva's forums, but it should work 
similarly for Fedora.  This invovles enabled the Nepomuk service--I did not 
have to do this in Fedora for my Akonadi to work.  The second is from the KDE 
forums and notes some changes made in /etc/akonadi/mysql-global.conf and 
others to get Kmail, etc. working:

http://forum.mandriva.com/viewtopic.php?t=119750&highlight=akonadi

"I solved the problem "Akonadi Control process is not registered at D-bus." 
this way :
- Enabled nepomuk 
http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/2010.0_Errata#Enabling_Nepomuk_fails_on_a_fresh_install_of_KDE4_One_Live_CD
- Uninstalled akonadi's following rpm : qt4-database-plugin-mysql, 
akonadi-1.2.1-5-mdv2010.0.i586, akonadi-kde4-4.3.2-1-mdv2010.0.i586
- removed akonadi's conf (i just renamed it to be safe...) 
~/.local/share/akonadi > ~/.local/share/akonadi_old
- install akonadi's rpm : qt4-database-plugin-mysql, akonadi-1.2.1-5-
mdv2010.0.i586, akonadi-kde4-4.3.2-1-mdv2010.0.i586."




http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=85731

"Check ~/.local/share/akonadi/mysql.conf looking for a line containing 'slow-
query' (I'm writing from memory, so it may be capitalised or not have the 
hyphen, or whatever). It should be commented out as should the same line in 
/etc/akonadi/mysql-global.conf. This is a change from the old requirement, and 
fixing it sorted the problem out for me."



Hope you get it working!

I have the same issue, and I don't know what it could be (I'm on Fedora 12 64-
bit KDE4.4).  I've worked around the issue using 'cpufreq' at the CLI to 
manually select my governor & max CPU speed.

I'd bet that your governor is set to 'ondemand' as I believe this is the 
default for all processors (for whatever reason). You can check this by 
running "#cpufreq-info" at the CLI after you have installed the cpufrequtils 
rpm.  That command will give you a readout of everything going on such as your 
CPU stepping frequencies, the current governor, the current frequency, etc.

What's weird about this issue, is that I didn't have this problem when using 
this same laptop & Mandriva 2009.1-2010.  On the contrary, with Mandriva my 
laptop does not have a "Suspend to Disk" feature...go figure.

Another vote for huludesktop.  It's what I've been using.  It's buggy but I 
think it's just a beta anyways, right?

I did, however, try to use the website and it did not work for me (fedora 12 
64-bit).

I am also having these issues after the recent kernel update.  I even 
installed the up-to-date akmod-nvidia package, to no end.

I was able to boot into the previous kernel and it worked though, so 
that is my temporary workaround until I have more time to troubleshoot 
the issue.

I've had this same issue, but never thought to troubleshoot it (it was  
after the big 4.4 update).  I forget which theme I'm using, but I'll be

They "worked" for me when I tried setting them up to be used in  
Konqueror.  They also caused issues with focus (regarding windows), among  
other flaky things.  My advice:  don't use them.  They don't seem mature  
enough yet (the norm with KDE).

Hello,

I can concur that there is no problem after testing a new user account.  
Anyone know the specific folder I can remove to fix this?  I'd hate to 
have to remove my entire .kde folder and remove all my settings.

Any help is appreciated!

For what it's worth, I believe i found the answer here:

http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=85261


Cairo-dock w/OpenGL + KDE desktop effects enabled appears to be the 
cause.  I can live with a blank dialog box more than I can live without 
either of these enabled, so I suppose we're waiting on DRI2 or a bug fix 
from Cairo-dock (according to the thread).

Which parts, exactly, are unacceptable?  I'd hope you aren't referring 
to the mess that happened when Chrome first came out, since that was 
ratified 2 days later and Google admitted their mistake in having that 
part in the EULA.

 Yesterday the desktop

stuff on the right or left.  When I put the focus on some of the
icons in that bar, the drop down menus aren't legible either.


Saw the same problem with Gnome Shell on my wife's desktop. It had been
working fine for a couple of weeks, then started in with this. In our
case, rebooting would fix it, but it would often occur after hibernate
or suspend, and once started, a log out or reboot was required to fix
it. Eventually we just switched her to Xfce to get around the problem,
since hibernate/suspend was deemed more important than having the latest
and greatest desktop environment [sic],  but I will be interested to
hear if there are any real solutions.

I currently have this same issue on a laptop I use for work running  
F16/KDE4, so perhaps this has something to do with graphics drivers (shot  
in the dark).  Do you happen to be running Intel graphics?


Sometimes suspend/resume works without issues, other it just completely  
takes a dump and I can only reboot to resolve the issue -- I can't even   
ctrl+alt+F2-12 to get to another console so that I could troubleshoot via  
CLI -__-.  One thing about this is that at work I connect to a docking  
station with which I have 2 1080p monitors connected.  I'll suspend when I  
leave work, then resume when I come home -- obviously without the 2 large  
monitors -- and SOMETIMES (perhaps once every other day) end up with the  
situation you both described.


Very annoying, to say the least.

It has been reported. Feel free to follow the bug:

Funny, I came across this same error not 10 mins ago prior to see this  
show up on the list, lol.  Fixed it with ln -s /usr/bin/vi /bin/vi (which  
coincidentally is the workaround suggested by one of the devs in that bug  
report).

Re: OT: Very slow download of Fedora-17 via BitTorrent

Downloading Fedora-17 via bittorrent is going very slowly, averaging
about 150 Kbytes/sec on a connection that usually achieves about 300
Kbytes/sec.  More interesting is that the connection is useless for
every other purpose: very slow access to the Web; connections time out;
etc.  When bittorrent is paused, these problems go away.  My provider is
ATT, which advertizes connection speeds of about 300 Kbytes/sec down and
75 Kbytes/sec up.

Is ATT or anyone else watching for bittorrent traffic on my connection
and cutting back other service because of it.



Before I enabled speed limits due to pre-empting complaints from my
wife, I was getting 1.5 - 1.8 mbps on the download via RCN cable.



I assume a router running DD-WRT and any other firmware with QoS was not 
available, eh?  Lol.
