The first time I run Kontact after starting a new session, the Contacts page is grayed out and superimposed is the message "Akonadi not operational". When I click on Details, I get a popup with this information:

If I then quit Kontact and restart it from the K button, Kontact doesn't run at all. If I type kontact at a command prompt, the command returns immediately. I keep trying to restart it from the K button or by typing kontact, kmail, kaddressbook, or knode at a command prompt. Eventually, I get a message that kontact crashed. I can then restart kontact and kaddressbook looks fine. However, I usually get one chance to use it. Once I have selected a contact and the details appear, I can select other contacts, but the details for the first contact remain. Sometimes kaddressbook works correctly, though. Any idea what's going on?
And another thing about kaddressbook: I assigned categories to all my contacts. Since upgrading, I get all my contacts regardless of category. That's annoying because most of my contacts were in the category "obsolete", indicating that I rarely wanted to view them. I have to scroll through hundreds of contacts now to find the ones in which I am interested.
