A while ago I eventually got my contacts back. I forget the actual |
| 41 |
cause now, but I strongly suspect it involved tinkering with mysql, |
| 42 |
and this may have broken in turn my calendar. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
I'm going to do one last test before consigning kdepim to the |
| 45 |
trashbin: migrate everything to a new user and start with a default |
| 46 |
config. If it works, I can migrate the data at my leisure. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
But now, stupid question incoming: |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
How you you get akonadi to use sqlite as the backend? There's no, erm, |
| 51 |
gui tickbox for that. |
