akonadi can not register with dbus

[GoksinAkdeniz]

I compiled and installed KDE 4.4.5 from ports. KDe starts but akonadi server can not register with dbus. Any suggestions how to make it work?

Are hal and dbus running?

[GoksinAkdeniz]

HALD and DBUS are running. My desktop is KDE 3.5.10. I decided to give KDE 4.4.5 a try but Akonadi fails to register with DBUS while Mepomuk can. MySQL sever is flaky, sometis fails to start but on a sceond try it starts. The only problem is akonadi dbus issue.

Have you tried the External MySQL Server settings? I have no luck with the default but if I switch to external everything runs fine.

I had to create the directory /var/db/mysql, make that writable for anyone who uses KDE (in my case only me, so I just chown'ed it).
Then deleted ~/.local/share/akonadi and ~/.config/akonadi, restarted KDE and no more errors. Of course I did have to re-enter my calendar resources from KDE 4.4 They were no longer shown, even though their contents were still intact.

Also note I was out of KDE or any other desktop environment when deleting the akonadi-directories.

KDE 4.5.1 is out, maybe you should give it a try.

[OH]

That was while upgrading to 4.5.1 (except of course kdepim en kdepim-runtime).
The fix marked by version 1.4.0_1 of databases/akonadi solves these issues I believe.
