When I start KMail I get gobbledygook in the Message window. When I run "sudo akonadictl restart" I am told akonadi is not running. I see no way to start it. ========================= [tim@william ~]$ sudo akonadictl start [tim@william ~]$ sudo akonadictl restart Akonadi is not running. [tim@william ~]$ /bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/akonadi- root.ZrNeSQ/mysql.socket' (2 "No such file or directory")' Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/tmp/akonadi- root.ZrNeSQ/mysql.socket' exists! [tim@william ~]$ ps aux | grep mysql tim 1708 0.5 1.5 2568696 127296 ? Sl 17:06 0:05 /usr/libexec/mysqld --defaults- file=/home/tim/.local/share/akonadi/mysql.conf -- datadir=/home/tim/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/ --socket=/tmp/akonadi- tim.G41xdj/mysql.socket [tim@william ~]$ sudo ls /tmp/akonadi-root.ZrNeSQ/mysql.socket ls: cannot access '/tmp/akonadi-root.ZrNeSQ/mysql.socket': No such file or directory ========================= I've been getting the KMail message mix-up for some days, but have always been able to recover with "sudo akonadictl restar". But today after the latest updates I get the above. Any advice or elucidation gratefully received. -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin _______________________________________________ kde mailing list -- kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to kde-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
