Akonadi

Introdución

A infraestrutura Akonadi consiste nunha base de datos centralizada que almacena, indexa e manexa a información persoal do usuario, para que os aplicativos poidan traballar con ela. Esta información inclúe os correos electrónicos, contactos, calendarios, acontecementos, diarios, alarmas, notas, etc. Na versión 4.4 da colección de software de KDE, KAddressBook converteuse no primeiro aplicativo en empezar a empregar a infraestrutura Akonadi. Na versión 4.7, KMail, KOrganizer, KJots e outros aplicativos actualizáronse para facer tamén uso de Akonadi. Ademais, un gran número de trebellos de Plasma empregan Akonadi para almacenar e obter acontecementos de calendarios, notas, etc.

No momento de escribir estas liñas, os seguintes aplicativos están preparados para empregar a infraestrutura Akonadi para centralizar o almacenamento e acceso aos datos do usuario. Acceda á páxina de cada aplicativo para máis información.

KMail
	Cliente de correo electrónico. Emprega Akonadi para almacenar os correos electrónicos.
KAddressBook
	Xestor de contactos. Emprega Akonadi para almacenar información de contacto.
KOrganizer
	Organizador persoal. Emprega Akonadi para almacenar calendarios, acontecementos, diarios, etc.
KJots
	Aplicativo de toma de notas. Emprega Akonadi para almacenar notas.

Ademais, algúns trebellos de Plasma coma o Reloxo dixital ou as Notas empregan tamén Akonadi para almacenar e obter acontecementos e notas.

Controlar o servidor de Akonadi

O módulo de control de Akonadi na Configuración do sistema permite iniciar, deter, reiniciar e consultar o estado do servidor Akonadi. Tamén pode facerse dente un terminal mediante a orde akonadictl.

Para iniciar o servidor de Akonadi, execute:

akonadictl start

To stop the Akonadi server,

akonadictl stop

To restart a running Akonadi server,

akonadictl restart

To query the status of the Akonadi server,

akonadictl status

Disabling the Akonadi subsystem

Remember

If you don't want to have Akonadi running on your system, you can not use any of the Akonadi-enabled applications. Such applications will start Akonadi, whenever they need its services even if you have disabled it. See the list of Akonadi-enabled applications. Also note, that some Plasma widgets, such as the Digital Clock uses Akonadi

The Akonadi server is launched automatically at login whenever any Akonadi-enabled application requests access to it.

To disable the Akonadi subsystem, first, shut down the running Akonadi server from the control module or the command line:

akonadictl stop

Now, edit the file ~/.config/akonadi/akonadiserverrc and change StartServer from true to false:

StartServer=false

The Akonadi server should no longer launch automatically on login.

Note

The Akonadi server will still be started by any Akonadi-enabled application. Ensure that no Akonadi-enabled application is launched at login or thereafter. Remember to check Plasma widgets as well — the Digital Clock widget in the default panel, for instance uses Akonadi to (optionally) display calendar events and this is enabled in its settings by default. You must remove any widgets that may start it from your start-up, if you wish Akonadi to remain disabled.

Frequently Asked Questions

Refer to the Troubleshooting page for resolving glitches during migration. Akonadi's Glossary entry has a brief description of its purpose and other useful links. This page explains how Akonadi and KAddressBook work together.

If you are experiencing 100% CPU usage by the virtuoso-t process when using Akonadi and related applications, try this proposed workaround while it is being investigated: In KRunner's configuration page, disable the Nepomuk search plugin and the Contact plugin. Then, log out and back in. For further information and inputs, report back here or on the Forum or on the IRC channel #kontact.
