Hallo all
with the 4.4.0 kde release I got my akonadi up and running. The 4.4.1
update brought me some minor problems with my fully updated F12
system.
After a fresh login I lost my address book. So I stopped akonadi,
exited kontact, removed .local/share/akonadi folder and restarted
akonadi. It created all the needed files, started up and I got my
address book back.
After the next login I got an akonadi error message which stated that
the data from my traditional imap-address book could not be read.
Additionally I got the error in my akonadi log:
[ERROR] Can't open and lock privilege tables: Table 'mysql.servers'
doesn't exist
I have to run the command:
mysql_install_db --datadir=$HOME/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/
To get the server running without an error. I don't know what was
going wrong here, but automatic creation seems to fail on my host. And
I still have one warning that the protocol version can not be checked
without a connection to the server. I don't know which server (nepomuk
or akonadi) but both are running.
And what I don't get: Why do they need so many (different) database
servers? Nepomuk (virtuoso), Amarok (MySQL), Akonadi (MySQL) ... I
think it is time to get a general KDE Database path with a
configuration dialog and an "make it work again" option.

PS: MySQL version gives: mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.1.44, for redhat-
linux-gnu (i386) using readline 5.1
