Hi Daniel,
     the akonadi server seems to be trapped in a continuous loop. If I 
kill one another one is started. So it is not obvious how to proceed.

Looking to top I notice that there is a mysqld process running for 55 
min (the computer is now up for 7h24m).

This seems to be the same pattern of yesterday.

Regards,
