---Thanks Jan, I've checked and they are. I think the problem is that my home dir is automounted across the network, and the local root is not allowed to write to it (or read from it). Not sure how to fix this, though. --John

== My problems with Akonadi ==
I cannot have akonadi running properly; if as suggested I comment out the short line, i.e., "sql_mode=strict_trans_tables" in the mysql.conf file then I have the following error:

====== ======================================================== ======
However, if I want to add google contacts it complains of bad password and does not do anything; however it accepts the same password akonadi_imap_resource but also seemingly does nothing; kontact tries and tries to fetch mails, but does so very sparingly.
On the other hand as suggested, if I comment out the "big line", i.e. "sql_mode=strict_trans_tables,strict_all_tables,strict_error_for_division_by_zero,no_auto_create_user,no_auto_value_on_zero,no_engine_substitution,no_zero_date,no_zero_in_date,only_full_group_by,pipes_as_concat" then the akonadi does not start at all and here is the error file:

Help in sorting the problem would be highly appreciated.

Revision as of 21:08, 4 February 2010

Actually I believe that the commands for resolving the apparmor problem are wrong. I believe they should be the following:

  • /etc/sudo aa-complain mysqld-akonadi
  • sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor reload

MySQL/InnoDB problem

I've seen a couple of reports of this problem. I'm using kubuntu intrepid. It may stem from the fact that I already had mysqld installed. Additionally, my home directory is automounted remotely, and root can't write to it. Here's the output from akonadi startup:

Akonadi Server Self-Test Report

---I had this problem too, for me it was solved by making sure that the contents of [homedir].local/share/akonadi was actually owned by my user (instead of root, as it was before). Jan

---Thanks Jan, I've checked and they are. I think the problem is that my home dir is automounted across the network, and the local root is not allowed to write to it (or read from it). Not sure how to fix this, though. --John

My problems with Akonadi

I cannot have akonadi running properly; if as suggested I comment out the short line, i.e., "sql_mode=strict_trans_tables" in the mysql.conf file then I have the following error:

However, if I want to add google contacts it complains of bad password and does not do anything; however it accepts the same password akonadi_imap_resource but also seemingly does nothing; kontact tries and tries to fetch mails, but does so very sparingly.

On the other hand as suggested, if I comment out the "big line", i.e. "sql_mode=strict_trans_tables,strict_all_tables,strict_error_for_division_by_zero,no_auto_create_user,no_auto_value_on_zero,no_engine_substitution,no_zero_date,no_zero_in_date,only_full_group_by,pipes_as_concat" then the akonadi does not start at all and here is the error file:
