Dear Akonadi!

[abalone]

Dear Akonadi,

I don't know what you want from me.

I don't know what's wrong with my MySQL server configuration, where it should be, what it should be, or why the Akonadi control or server processes or Nepomuk aren't registered at D-Bus, or what's wrong with my resource agents, or those other things.

I just want to be able to see my address book again.

What will make you happy? Failing that, what will make you go away?

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 /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 to.

Re: Dear Akonadi!

While I'm not on 10.04 (running on 9.10), my experience getting Akonadi 'working' over on KDE Community Forums might be helpful:

Re: I'm unable to start Akonadi server (follow it all the way to my last post).

Also, as to getting my address book to 'work', also on KDE Community Forums:

[FIXED] KMail - New contacts problem

[abalone]

Re: Dear Akonadi!

Nice, thanks. I set some permissions here and deleted some config files there, and now Akonadi starts up. I re-created my contacts by creating two address books, one from .kde/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf and one from .config/share/contacts/. Then I moved all contacts from the std.vcf one into the .config/share/contacts/ one to simplify things. The amount of jargon I encountered just setting up an address book was quite impressive.

Now I have several resources without directories/files associated with them:
Local Folders: nope
Standard-Kalender: nope
Personal Calendar: check
resource: nope
Personal Contacts: check
Birthdays & Anniversaries: ?

[abalone]

Re: Dear Akonadi!

Hm, the contacts I had moved to the "Personal Contacts" address book (.local/share/contacts/) have vanished from it.

And now it's back to "no resource agents" and "Nepomuk not registered at D-Bus".

[abalone]

Re: Dear Akonadi!

export XDG_DATA_DIRS=$XDG_DATA_DIRS:/usr/share/akonadi/agents

-- this seems to help... but where do I best put it so it happens automatically (including for non-KDE sessions)? For now it's in /etc/profile.

And there're still "no resource agents found" until I start Kontact a second time (not counting the times where it never manifests a GUI and I have to kill the kontact process).

This gives me Kontact with a greyed-out address book (non-operational akonadi warning, details: no resource agents found). Even so these processes are running: akonadiserver, mysqld-akonadi, akonadi:control, akonadi_nepomuk, 3 or so akonadi_contact, akonadi_whateverresource...

I close Kontact and give it a second try:

Stuff then works, as far as I've checked it out. But it's always only on the second try. Can anyone make sense of this?

Re: Dear Akonadi!

I don't want to jump in like this but I have noticed that my akonadi/konatct on lucid just wasn't working and I don't see why I should spend hours on it as I have work to do.

Akonadi / Kontact on Karmic (kde4.4.2) works fine.

So when on Lucid I am using thunderbird for my mails / Kontacts / Kalendaring as it syncs with my google / android nicely and just works.

Can't wait to see what the final release will do for akonadi / kontact.

Re: Dear Akonadi!

Any ideas re: my previous post?

I deleted all things Akonadi in .local and .config and started over, but the same problem manifested.

I'm trying Thunderbird. It's a bit confusing. I have funny habits involving mutt, fetchmail, postfix and the quarter million email accounts I have by now. But at least I don't have to start it twice before it works *knocks on wood*

Re: Dear Akonadi!

I had exactly the same problem ( having to start Kontact twice)- I think I may have fixed it by starting the Korganizer Reminder Daemon at login instead of when Kontact starts. Worth a try?

Re: Dear Akonadi!

Not running 10.04, but I (still) have this problem occassionally when starting Kontact. What I've been doing, is waiting for a while after I'm logged into the Desktop. Starting Kontact then usually works without Akonadi reporting the error. But, I might try adding the Korganizer Reminder Daemon to Autostart and see if that resolves it once and for all - for me. Thanks for the tip.

Re: Dear Akonadi!

I don't have korganizer installed at all...

Edit: ...and installing it doesn't help, nor does running the reminder daemon first, nor does waiting after login. :/

Re: Dear Akonadi!

So far, having Korganizer Reminder Daemon marked to Start Reminder Daemon at Login has solved the (sometime) Akonadi error for me.

[abalone]

Re: Dear Akonadi!

Congratulations! Wish it had worked for me. Then again, I don't really want to lug KOrganizer around when I don't need it.

Re: Dear Akonadi!

I deleted all things Akonadi in .local and .config

and

Start Reminder Daemon at Login

and

export XDG_DATA_DIRS=$XDG_DATA_DIRS:/usr/share/akonadi/agents

in /etc/profiles

seems to have done the trick here and my google resources are working as well.

Thank you all

Still using TB as backup if Kontact / akonadi starts to misbehave again

Re: Dear Akonadi!

and

export XDG_DATA_DIRS=$XDG_DATA_DIRS:/usr/share/akonadi/agents

in /etc/profiles

profiles? Do you have the right? Or did you mean profile? I have an /etc/profile but not an /etc/profiles. The /etc/profile is identified as:

# /etc/profile: system-wide .profile file for the Bourne shell (sh(1))
# and Bourne compatible shells (bash(1), ksh(1), ash(1), ...).
