At long last!!! I think I fixed this bloody nuisance! :-D |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
As I mentioned sometime ago I have replaced all resources with native files |
| 27 |
stored in my ~/.kde4/share/apps, so this wasn't the problem. This is the |
| 28 |
solution I came up with: |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
I edited my ~/.config/akonadi/akonadiserverrc and added QSQLITE for the |
| 31 |
driver's name under [%General]. This field was empty. Until that moment the |
| 32 |
akonadiserverrc file only had a [QMYSQL] section - no other databases/drivers |
| 33 |
were present. Restarting Kmail after the above change launched akonadi with |
| 34 |
its slow progress bar as always, but this time the KDE migrator managed to |
| 35 |
successfully register my native resource files for contacts, alarms, notes, |
| 36 |
etc. Checking the akonadiserverrc file I found a new section for [QSQLITE] |
| 37 |
below the original [QMYSQL]: |
| 38 |
=========================== |
| 39 |
[%General] |
| 40 |
Driver=QSQLITE |
| 41 |
SizeThreshold=4096 |
| 42 |
ExternalPayload=false |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
[QMYSQL] |
| 45 |
StartServer=false |
| 46 |
ServerPath=/usr/bin/sqlite3 |
| 47 |

I haven't rebooted yet, but restarting kmail gives no more problems with |
| 65 |
akonadi. Either akonadi does not run, or if it does it causes no more delays. |
| 66 |
I assume that the delays were occurring because akonadi was trying to migrate |
| 67 |
old resource data, but would not it seems be prepared to accept the sqlite |
| 68 |
driver. Some gentle persuasion with the akonadiserverrc sqlite driver was all |
| 69 |
that was needed. ;-) |
| 70 |
|
| 71 |
I hope this helps others who like me do not need/want mysql just to run a few |
| 72 |
KDE applications. |
