[Solved] The akonadi personal management service is not oper

[mark9117]

This is a new Magia 6 installation, fully updated.
Any attempt to use Korganizer, Kmail, KOntact or KNotes results in an overlay saying "The akonadi personal management service is not operational". Attempts to do something in those apps results in behavior from crashing outright (attempting to enter a new KOntact) or simply not being able to save a record (KOrgnaizer). The applications simply don't work.





Clicking the Details button does nothing. No output. No error. No thing.

The Akonadi service appears to be running:

Code: Select all

$ akonadictl status
Akonadi Control: running
Akonadi Server: running
search paths:  ("/usr/lib64", "/usr/lib64/qt4/plugins/", "/usr/lib64/kde4/", "/usr/lib64/kde4/plugins/", "/usr/lib/qt4/plugins/", "/usr/lib64/qt4/plugins", "/usr/bin", "/home/madams/.kde4/lib64/kde4/")
Akonadi Server Search Support: available (Remote Search)
Available Agent Types: akonadi_indexing_agent, akonadi_notes_agent

Looking at syslog I find a lot of these:

Code: Select all

syslog:Aug 28 22:14:30 spike korganizer[4400]: org.kde.pim.akonadicore: Invalid command, the world is going to end!

That socket seems to exist.

Code: Select all

# ll /tmp/akona*
total 0
srwxrwxr-x 1 madams madams 0 Aug 28 02:57 akonadiserver.socket=
srwxrwxrwx 1 madams madams 0 Aug 28 02:57 mysql.socket=


I really don't know much about Akonadi. I've noticed that it was installed and presumably doing something involving keeping a dataset on previous installations, but it's never been troublesome before.

Google yields plenty of hits for this error

A potential solution may be here, but I don't read Turkish and am not sure what the implications are for removing the totality of the Akonadi configuration. Will it be automatically generated on restart? Do I need to reinstall it first?

Assistance appreciated.

Hmmm, you only have two agents. What is the output of

Code: Select all

rpm -qa|grep -iE "akonadi|baloo"

Also in systemsettings > personal information you should be able to run a self-test report for akonadi server, the output of that (17 tests or so) would probably be useful.

Quite a list shows up:

I'm not finding personal information in the systemsettings. Does this look as expected? Am I just missing something?



And thank you for the attention.

Sorry, don't have an mga6 system at hands, I can check but might only be on the weekend.

Reinstalled Mageia 6 after blowing away my /home directory. All seems well now. Marking it "solved".
