KMail doen't startup fully.

Installed system : Knoppix 7.4.0

Dear Forum Member,

KMail doesn't startup fully.

Error message:
The Akonadi personal management service is not operational.

Details; First Error message:

The Akonadi control process is not registered at D-Bus which typically means it was not started or encountered a fatal error during startup.

What's wrong? How can I solve this problem?

Thank you.

done.

I suggest that you load the configuration file /home/knoppix/.config/akonadi/akonadiserverrc in a texteditor and change

Code:

---

[QMYSQL]
StartServer=false

---

into

Code:

---

[QMYSQL]
StartServer=true

---

Save the file and exit the texteditor.
Issue the command

Code:

---

kmail

---

in an LXTerminal and wait until kmail runs properly or exits with an error message.

Tell us if that resolved the issue.

Hello Klaus,

That solved the problem.

Thank you!
