Hi, I'm in trouble with akonadi. After some update (or crash, or wrong power off, I don't know) akonadi stop to work. The message I get from the konsole after the command akonadictl start is:

Code: Select all

also after deleting the directory in .config/akonadi and .local/share/akonadi akonadi won't start. In my opinion the problem is in this line

Code: Select all

org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: stderr: "mysqld-akonadi: [ERROR] Could not open required defaults file: /home/andrea/.local/share/akonadi/mysql.conf\nmysqld-akonadi: [ERROR] Fatal error in defaults handling. Program aborted!\n"

as you can read there is a "n" in the way in nmysqld-akonadi
In the config file there is no nmysql-akonadi statement. Where I can find it?
Thanks.

I've stared at that output a lot and never noticed! This bug was reported, closed by the reporter when he found a workaround, and then recently reopened, so I've added your comment to it.
