When I start KMail I get gobbledygook in the Message window.
When I run "sudo akonadictl restart" I am told akonadi is not running.
I see no way to start it.
=========================
[tim@william ~]$ sudo akonadictl start
[tim@william ~]$ sudo akonadictl restart
Akonadi is not running.
[tim@william ~]$ /bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/akonadi-
root.ZrNeSQ/mysql.socket' (2 "No such file or directory")'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/tmp/akonadi-
root.ZrNeSQ/mysql.socket' exists!
[tim@william ~]$ ps aux | grep mysql
tim 1708 0.5 1.5 2568696 127296 ? Sl 17:06 0:05
/usr/libexec/mysqld --defaults-
file=/home/tim/.local/share/akonadi/mysql.conf --
datadir=/home/tim/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/ --socket=/tmp/akonadi-
tim.G41xdj/mysql.socket
[tim@william ~]$ sudo ls /tmp/akonadi-root.ZrNeSQ/mysql.socket
ls: cannot access '/tmp/akonadi-root.ZrNeSQ/mysql.socket': No such file or
directory
=========================
I've been getting the KMail message mix-up for some days,
but have always been able to recover with "sudo akonadictl restar".
But today after the latest updates I get the above.
Any advice or elucidation gratefully received.
