Started kde4 from a terminal and went to System Settings and added |
| 30 |
/usr/bin/sqlite3 as the Akonadi command, but nothing much changed. |
| 31 |
So, for now I am giving up on Akonadi. |

I tried to import old KDE2 address book settings from within the KDE4 |
| 44 |
address book and it failed - couldn't find it in KDE3.5. However, I |
| 45 |
then opened my eyes properly, searched better and found |
| 46 |
.kde3.5/share/apps/kabc/ which contains, as Alan kindly suggested, my |
| 47 |
address book data. Copied it over, deleted the old |
| 48 |
.kde3.5/share/apps/kabc/lock directory and now the KDE4 kmail lists |
| 49 |
all my address book entries! Yes! :-) |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
Also, I found a solution to the kmail filters - I opened the filters |
| 52 |
tab in kmail4 and used the import button, pointed it to the 3.5 |
| 53 |
kmailrc and it imported them all fine. Very pleased. :-) |

Haven't cracked this one yet. Running media:/ gives me an error: |
| 61 |
"Protocol not supported". Dolphin shows USB devices on the left hand |
| 62 |
menu/panel, but Konqueror wont. Any ideas welcome. :-) |
