I updated to kde 4.4 today and when I try to start kontact or kmail it says that it cannot start the akonadi server with the following errors:

Akonadi control process not registered at D-bus
Akonadi server process not registered at D-bus
No resource agents found
current akonadi server error log found
previous akonadi server error log found

Please help!!! I'm using Arch Linux

Try remove all old settings of kde in ~/.kde and restart X...
Or ~/.akonadi remove old settings and restart X...

There is no ~/.akonadi folder. I tried

rm -rf /home/whashnez/.local/share/akonadi

but I got the same errors. Please any ideas?

Try reinstall D-BUS...

I deleted the configuration files from akonadi and now it reports:

MySQL server log contains errors
No resource agents found

Dbus now is ok

the mysql log file '/home/whashnez/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/mysql.err' reports:

You try reinstall mysql too...?

Still nothing! Anything else?

First - people keep telling you to remove things and that's almost always bad advice. If you think a file is causing you problems, rename it.

Now to the problem. Check ~/.local/share/akonadi/mysql.conf looking for a line containing 'slow-query' (I'm writing from memory, so it may be capitalised or not have the hyphen, or whatever). It should be commented out as should the same line in /etc/akonadi/mysql-global.conf. This is a change from the old requirement, and fixing it sorted the problem out for me.

I started akonadi but now kontact has no components in it. It opens but has no components..Why? Help?

Try running "kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental"

If that doesn't work, please move $(kde4-config --localprefix)/share/apps/kontact/ somewhere else.
