I am almost sure that this was not the case with KDE-4.3 or if it was, then |
11 |
this update did not take longer than a second. |

Yes, SQLITE is not recommended, however it worked alright up until now. |

Thanks for the suggestion, I will mv the db and try starting it again. How |
26 |
does one start akonadi? It's no longer listed in systemsettings in KDE-4.4. |

What does that mean? Why did it run out of memory - there's still plenty of |
39 |
RAM. |

No, that's what got me confused and I had to ask here for suggestions. Why |
50 |
would it be trying to access a lockfile which is not there? |

Alan, thank you for your help. I did read the errors although somewhat in a |
59 |
rush. |
60 |
|
61 |
I couldn't find the lock file akonadi referred to and I couldn't understand |
62 |
why it was trying to access a file that was not there. I thought of blowing |
63 |
the db and starting KDE or kmail, but just to be sure I asked here first. I |
64 |
didn't want to risk losing access to my mail or address book. |
