[Bug 574460] [NEW] akonadi not operational - no contacts shown in kontact

Mon May 3 13:19:36 UTC 2010

Public bug reported:

I have never configured or used Akonadi after I did a fresh install of
Kubuntu 9.10, but I didn't miss anything. Now I have done a dist-upgrade
to 10.04 and beside minor weird issues of Kontact (retrieving a few
older emails at pop3-cache accounts, needing more time for start-up
etc.), I realized that my address-book stored in "contacts"
(KAddressbook) just disappeared.

Instead of seeing my addresses that are still stored in the VCF, I can
only see the columns and in the center the error message "Akonadi not
operational". Clicking on the details link the Akonadi Server Self-Test
is started.  I was (hopefully) able to fix MySQL-related error (InnoDB)
shown in earlier Self-Test, but not anymore.  Even so, I don't want to
use Akonadi, it seems I have to fix these issues, but really, this goes
far over my head.  Shouldn't stuff like these work out of the box?  I
have no idea of MySQL database administration or of this D-Bus (whatever
that is).  Did I finally mess things up, or is this a bug?

The current full report reads like this:
