Hi there!
I just installed arch off the netinstall CD, running KDE 4.4.2. My akonadi server fails to start. Running akonadiconsole yields the following errors in the GUI:
1. "MySQL server log contains errors."
2. "Akonadi server process not registered at D-Bus."
3. "No resource agents found."
4. "Previous Akonadi server error log found."
5. "Current Akonadi control error log found."
6. "Previous Akonadi control error log found."
Could somebody point me in the right direction, please? I have a MySQL server running, the following daemons are declared in rc.conf:
syslog-ng dbus ifplugd !network !netfs crond hal networkmanager kdm cups gdm
Any ideas on how to debug this? I know quite some linux, but no arch at all. Can I simply delete all of these error logs? Where can I find them? Why doesn't akonadi register at dbus? I got a whole bunch of dbus processes running:
dbus 1556 0.0 0.0 2620 1176 ? Ss 21:18 0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --system
root 1692 0.0 0.0 3104 720 ? S 21:18 0:00 dbus-launch --autolaunch 4cd0fb0fc4aa00aea4cf0461000004e1 --binary-syntax --close-stderr
root 1693 0.0 0.0 2284 696 ? Ss 21:18 0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 5 --print-address 7 --session
rufus 1817 0.0 0.0 3104 720 ? S 21:18 0:00 dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session
rufus 1818 0.1 0.0 2812 1576 ? Ss 21:18 0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 5 --print-address 7 --session
My user is member only of network, lp and rufus groups. Should I add him to some more groups?
Kind regards,
Rufus

Ah, funny addendum: When dismissing akonadiconsole, I'm presented with an error box:
Failed to connect to database: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/home/bla/.local/share/akonadi/db_misc/mysql.socket' (2) QMYSQL: Unable to connect
This mentions some *other* user name. Actually this is the user name I was using in some old installation. I've preserved /home of this old installation on another partition, but how does MySQL remember about this socket? I thought, daemons take their configuration from /etc or something, but not from /home?

I've had the same problem with a completely fresh install of Arch + KDE 4.4.2. Haven't tried to fix it yet though.

Hm, in my case it seems to have been an issue with my old home dir. For the time being I solved it by symlinking the wanted directory to the existing one:
su
cd /home
ln -s rufus/ bla
Maybe not the most elegant solution, but until now it's survived at least on logout-login cycle (didn't dare to reboot yet)
