I think I fixed this bloody nuisance! :-D As I mentioned sometime ago I have replaced all resources with native files stored in my ~/.kde4/share/apps, so this wasn't the problem. This is the solution I came up with: I edited my ~/.config/akonadi/akonadiserverrc and added QSQLITE for the driver's name under [%General]. This field was empty. Until that moment the akonadiserverrc file only had a [QMYSQL] section - no other databases/drivers were present. Restarting Kmail after the above change launched akonadi with its slow progress bar as always, but this time the KDE migrator managed to successfully register my native resource files for contacts, alarms, notes, etc. Checking the akonadiserverrc file I found a new section for [QSQLITE] below the original [QMYSQL]: =========================== [%General] Driver=QSQLITE SizeThreshold=4096 ExternalPayload=false [QMYSQL] StartServer=false ServerPath=/usr/bin/sqlite3 Name=akonadi Host= User= Password= Options= [QSQLITE] Name=/home/michael/.local/share/akonadi/akonadi.db User= Password= Options= StartServer=false [Debug] Tracer=null =========================== I haven't rebooted yet, but restarting kmail gives no more problems with akonadi. Either akonadi does not run, or if it does it causes no more delays. I assume that the delays were occurring because akonadi was trying to migrate old resource data, but would not it seems be prepared to accept the sqlite driver. Some gentle persuasion with the akonadiserverrc sqlite driver was all that was needed. ;-) I hope this helps others who like me do not need/want mysql just to run a few KDE applications. -- Regards, Mick
