More nepomuk/kmail problems and workarounds

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'd hate to be the ones trying to track down these issues, because not 
everyone is affected with any of them, as far as I can see.  Anyway, the latest 
updates broke my Kontact, so here's what I've gathered as work-arounds.

Since the update, Kontact will not start, and it appears to be unrelated to 
mysql or nepomuk.  

First work-around - all the apps run as stand-alone apps, so it's possible to 
get by while the cause of this is being sought.

KMail still suffers from delays and freezes when sending, the fix for which is 
promised in 4.4.1.  It's possible to work around this as a temporary measure.

Second workaround - close kontact or kmail and kaddressbook if you are running 
stand-alone apps.  Disable strigi in systemsettings.  Stop nepomuk, delete the 
database and restart nepomukserver.  The actual commands you need are (as 
user)

qdbus org.kde.NepomukServer /nepomukserver org.kde.NepomukServer.quit
rm -r .kde/share/apps/nepomuk
nepomukserver 

This will, of course, wipe out all the database, including any tags you've 
added.  In theory, I understand that it's possible to do a more selective wipe 
of the database.  If this matters to you you can find the instructions at 
http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Metadata/Nepomuk/TipsAndTricks#Remove_all_Strigi-
indexed_data

Hope this helps some of you :-)
