Hi All,

This is a new install of KDE Neon.

Installed Kalarm but having issues with akonadi.
Installed Kalarm using Synaptic package manager but it did not install akonadi. (I thought it would be a dependency.) Uninstalled and tried to install using Discover. Still did not install akonadi. Installed akonadi using synaptic package manager but Kalarm says it can't connect. (Don't know for sure I got the correct akonadi install) Installed KDE-PIM but still had issues with akonadi. Finally uninstalled all and came here for help.

If someone can help, I would appreciate step-by-step instructions.

Thanks

The kalarm package automatically installs the akonadi-server package, among other akonadi packages. This should give you all you need as far as Akonadi is concerned. However, Neon doesn't install the mysql database, which is used by default by Akonadi. This may be what is going wrong for you. To fix this:

1) Install the packages mariadb-server and libqt5sql5-mysql.

2) Ensure that apparmor allows mysqld to run. You can google to find out how, either by enabling mysqld in apparmor, or by disabling apparmor if you think that is wise. Note that if you disable apparmor, you need to reboot before it will actually allow mysqld to run.

no it does not install all that you need. i installed it on the 24th and straight out of the gate got 2 identical error notifications on launching kalarm. bit of advice if you are going to attempt to help actually included a link or links to instructions needed.

hopefully there is something here that will help.

How about making a bug report? This is obviously a packaging issue, and should be reported where it belongs.

FWIW: moving this to the KDE Neon subforum.

Please give details about the error messages. What do they say?

I didn't include a link to instructions because I am not aware of anywhere where the instructions are written down. I took the trouble to write the instructions myself, from my own experience of getting KAlarm to work in Neon.

The bug report needs to contain all relevant details of what is wrong. Please also give it a descriptive title to sum up what it is about. It isn't practical to use a bug report which simply refers to another thread - how can questions be asked about details contained in the thread without everything getting very confused?

i'll reinstall kalarm and post both here and in the bug report what i get.

For the record, the bug reported by mrgrimm has already been fixed - see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=407544. The fix will be included in KDE Applications 19.04.2 due to be released on 6th June.

The original Neon issue reported by rwayland should be dealt with if https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=407827 ("Neon developer live image doesn't contain development packages") gets fixed.
