Basically it cannot connect to its database. I tries sqlite but that also did not work. These are all the packages that I have installed:

Code: Select all

I also tried creating this file:

Code: Select all

[Debug]
#./.config/akonadiserverrc 
Tracer=null

[%General]
Driver=QMYSQL

[QMYSQL]
Host=
Name=akonadi
Options="UNIX_SOCKET=/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock"
ServerPath=/usr/sbin/mysqld
StartServer=true

This also did not work. Any idea is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

SOLUTION:
Seems like akonadi does not support home folder or its config folder being a symlink to another folder. I changed my configuration so that the whole home folder including configuration files of akonadi where not through any symlink and that solved the problem.
