> Wiping the Akonadi database fixed the problem Nope, sorry: Wiping the Akonadi database had no visible effect at all as to the problem discussed. - The solution was (in addition to the definition in the KDE Resources) to use "the old KDE Resources mechanism" in KAddressBook.
Another possibly interesting detail - there is another user ("user2") on the affected systems, having (almost) exactly the same configuration of addressbooks as initially reported. In KDE-Ressources, there are three addressbooks installed and active: - /home/user2/.kde/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf (vcard), - /home/user/.kde/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf (vcard, read only) and - akonadi-resource Both user and user2 have their own vcard file configured to be fully accessible and the other's read only. For user2, this configuration has remained fully functional both in KMail and in KAddressBook. No need to use the old KDE Resources mechanism in KAddressBook (nor to wipe the Akonadi database, of course). Had the bad sync of the local computer and the NFS server been a problem, shouldn't user2 face the same problem as reported above? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/676173 Title: kaddressbook fails to show addressbooks contents -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
