Description of problem: After booting and starting KDE, Akonadi doesn't work. In process list I can see 3 processes related to akonadi: akonadi_ctrl akonadiserver mysqld KDE systemsettings show that akonadi doesn't run. If I press "start", I get a failure that akonadi control isn't registered to dbus (see screenshots attached). When I "kill" the 3 akonadi processes above and start again Akonadi by "akonadictrl start" it works fine (see result attached as screenshot). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): MGA4 Beta1 and 2 How reproducible: Fresh install via DVD installer. Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:

Do you have an nvidia card ?
Cannot reproduce with beta2. Default KDE install from x86_64 DVD with all updates, seems akonadi is running properly: [doktor5000@localhost ~]$ ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep -i -e ako -e sql 500 3363 1 0 13:40 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/akonadi_control 500 3365 3363 0 13:40 ? 00:00:00 akonadiserver 500 3367 3365 0 13:40 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/mysqld --defaults-file=/home/doktor5000/.local/share/akonadi/mysql.conf --datadir=/home/doktor5000/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/ --socket=/tmp/akonadi-doktor5000.Tborhx/mysql.socket 500 3489 3363 0 13:40 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/akonadi_agent_launcher akonadi_akonotes_resource akonadi_akonotes_resource_0 500 3490 3363 0 13:40 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/akonadi_archivemail_agent --identifier akonadi_archivemail_agent 500 3491 3363 0 13:40 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/akonadi_agent_launcher akonadi_contacts_resource akonadi_contacts_resource_0 500 3492 3363 0 13:40 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/akonadi_agent_launcher akonadi_ical_resource akonadi_ical_resource_0 500 3494 3363 0 13:40 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/akonadi_agent_launcher akonadi_maildir_resource akonadi_maildir_resource_0 500 3495 3363 0 13:40 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/akonadi_maildispatcher_agent --identifier akonadi_maildispatcher_agent 500 3496 3363 0 13:40 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/akonadi_mailfilter_agent --identifier akonadi_mailfilter_agent 500 3497 3363 0 13:40 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/akonadi_nepomuk_feeder --identifier akonadi_nepomuk_feeder 500 3498 3363 0 13:40 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/akonadi_newmailnotifier_agent --identifier akonadi_newmailnotifier_agent 500 3499 3363 0 13:40 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/akonadi_sendlater_agent --identifier akonadi_sendlater_agent [doktor5000@localhost ~]$ akonadictl status Akonadi Control: running Akonadi Server: running Akonadi Server Search Support: not available Also systemsettings -> "personal information" shows all four Akonadi ressources as "Ready". Although the weird thing is I'm missing the kcm module for akonadi itself in systemsettings. It is installed (akonadi-kde) and can be called via "kcmshell4 kcm_akonadi" but does not appear in systemsettings nor kcmshell4 --list.

Yes, I'm using Nvidia card incl. proprietary driver. By that way, I've deleted every akonadi item found in ".config/akonadi/" and created them new via systemsettings - pim but after restart akonadi failed either to start properly. But again, it works fine after "killing" it and starting new manually.
just tested: changed graphics driver to nouveau -> restart -> akonadi starts properly also other failures are gone (amarok collection scanner freeze: bug 11742; kwrite fails to start: bug 11946)
switching back to proprietary driver -> akonadi fails to start (see attached output of "akonadi test"

Summary: akonadi doesn't work after starting kde => akonadi doesn't work after starting kde (nvidia)
Reporter can you please test again using RC isos or up-to-date cauldron?
CC: (none) => ennael1
Hello, I've updated to latest cauldron (20.1.2014) and afterwards I've installed the proprietary Nvidia driver via MCC. After reboot Akonadi didn't start properly, so it isn't fixed. Sorry :-( I've switched back to nouveau via MCC and did a reboot -> Akonadi works! However, thank you for working to fix that issue. Good luck! Florian

question: might this bug be linked to bug 11946 resp. 11742? regards Florian
yes every bug in https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12079 with nvidia on the summary are related, for amarok no ideas
Amarok starts fine here with 325.15. But please only one program per bug.
This should be fixed since 5 days with the p11-kit updates: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_4_Errata#nvidia_proprietary_drivers Please reopen if problem persists.
Status: NEW => RESOLVEDResolution: (none) => FIXED
Thanks for the information. I can't test it at the moment as I've installed opensuse 13.1 now as I've no Nvidia related bugs with this distro. But I prefere the Mageia control center against Yast and I like the Mageia community so it's good to here that failure has been found. So again great thanks to developers for hard work!
