Hello Everyone I am creating a new thread on this, because having followed the other thread on this issue, I don't THINK I've seen it exactly like this. Even if my situation IS the same as others that have been fixed on this list, my problem has not been fixed. So, here goes... I am using KMail 1.13.0 from within Kontact 4.4. This is all with the KDE that ships with Fedora 12 (which recently came in with the normal updates.) When I log in, I get the normal message about Akonadi starting up. It seems to do this successfully: http://www.afolkey2.net/~steve/kde-nepomuk-screenshot-002.jpg After a few minutes (or less,) the following error/warning pops up: http://www.afolkey2.net/~steve/kde-nepomuk-screenshot-001.jpg The following screenshots show that mysqld is running under my name, and the nepomuk related process that does start successfully: http://www.afolkey2.net/~steve/kde-nepomuk-screenshot-003.jpg http://www.afolkey2.net/~steve/kde-nepomuk-screenshot-004.jpg This is what I THINK sets my situation apart from the others mentioned on this list: other than Neopmuk indexing being disabled, I have absolutely no other issues using KMail/Kontact. Receiving & Sending email works just as well now as it did before the recent upgrade. I just went to the appropriate section of "systemsettings" and checked the two boxes shown on the following screenshot. Interestingly, indexing seemed to be going on for a few minutes, then the error/warning that is shown in the following screenshot came up: http://www.afolkey2.net/~steve/kde-nepomuk-screenshot-005.jpg After all of that, here is a screenshot of the nepomuk processes that are currently showing: http://www.afolkey2.net/~steve/kde-nepomuk-screenshot-006.jpg Also, here is the output when I run "nepomukserver" from a terminal: http://www.afolkey2.net/~steve/kde-nepomuk-output-001.txt Of particular interest (I think) are these lines: [steve at localhost .public_html]$ grep -i crashed kde-nepomuk-output-001.txt ProcessControl: Application '/usr/bin/nepomukservicestub' stopped unexpected (Process crashed) Application '/usr/bin/nepomukservicestub' crashed! 4 restarts left. ProcessControl: Application '/usr/bin/nepomukservicestub' stopped unexpected (Process crashed) Application '/usr/bin/nepomukservicestub' crashed! 3 restarts left. ProcessControl: Application '/usr/bin/nepomukservicestub' stopped unexpected (Process crashed) Application '/usr/bin/nepomukservicestub' crashed! 2 restarts left.

ProcessControl: Application '/usr/bin/nepomukservicestub' stopped unexpected (Process crashed) Application '/usr/bin/nepomukservicestub' crashed! 0 restarts left. ProcessControl: Application '/usr/bin/nepomukservicestub' stopped unexpected (Process crashed) Application '/usr/bin/nepomukservicestub' crashed to often. Giving up! All of this is after following the advice located on this page: http://userbase.kde.org/Akonadi#Troubleshooting_Tips In particular, this: qdbus org.kde.NepomukServer /nepomukserver org.kde.NepomukServer.quit rm -r .kde/share/apps/nepomuk nepomukserver Also, in my case, "qdbus org.kde.NepomukServer /nepomukserver org.kde.NepomukServer.quit" does NOT stop "nepomukserver" I have to do that manually. My system is as follows: Fedora 12 (fully updated) Processor: Intel Xeon 2.0GhZ Processor (QuadCore) Memory: 8gigs of DDR3 RAM Anyway, I need to go to work now... Steven P. Ulrick
