Akonadi won't start
Even on console, when trying to start with akonadictl start, it drops the message
Cannot rename log file '/home/larry/.local/share/akonadi/Akonadi.error' to '/home/larry/.local/share/akonadi/Akonadi.error.old': Es kann nicht nach /home/larry/.local/share/akonadi/Akonadi.error.old kopiert werden: Das Argument ist ungültig

Aborted (memory dump written) akonadictl startThere were some updates related to Akonadi and KDE on 2025-10-10, but system continued to function normally.
The day after there were some qt6 and KDE related updates and after that Akonadi refuses to start, but I can't see any relation between these updates and Akonadi.
I tried that to reproduce that on another box which never used Akonadi, but the same there. Very strange.

Yep, I'll do...
Delete .local/share/akonadi/Akonadi.error*
Already tried that, also copying the file to Akonadi.error.old (with and w/o Akonadi.error), but same message.

These 2 files should be created if missing, with 'rw' permissions of your user when akonadi starts.
If they aren't, check the permissions of .local/share/akonadi/

Which file system are you using for /home? Does it support O_TMPFILE?

Filesystem is xfs, /home is also there using ecryptfs. This is working since around 10 years.
The other box which I updated today for testing and is also failing to start Akonadi (it has never been used there), uses ext4.

Re: Akonadi won't start
Which version did you upgrade from? What else was upgraded?
This seems pretty low level. Anything else is affected?

Apart from Akonadi, everything is running smoothly.
This is pacman's log. After running these updates Akonadi refuses to start next morning.

Re: Akonadi won't start
Updated another Arch box, same result: Akonadi won't run anymore. Downgraded some packages from the list above to the previous version and Akonadi is alive afterwards.
These are the packages that would be updated again:

Filesystem is xfs, /home is also there using ecryptfs. This is working since around 10 years.
The other box which I updated today for testing and is also failing to start Akonadi (it has never been used there), uses ext4.
I setup an Arch virtio VM, ext4, non encrypted, de_DE locale, full Xorg and KDE setup to mimic my original box. Kontact/Akonadi works.
Then I moved ~/.local/share/akonadi of my original box out of the ecryptfs'ed home to a 2nd disc and symlinked that back to ~/.local/share/akonadi Guess what: Akonadi works immediately, as if nothing had ever happened.
Moved the stuff back to the ecryptfs'ed home, except Akonadi.error, which I left on the 2nd disc and symlinked only that file to ~/.local/share/akonadi/ Akonadi can be still started.
At least I have now reached a point where I can work properly again, but for me it looks like there is a borked package in one of the mentioned updates.

Re: Akonadi won't start
Please use [code][/code] tags, not "quote" tags. Edit your post in this regard.
Either one of the kf addons or Qt will have changed the backend implementation of a particular operation and the result isn't supported by … xfs? Or rather the encfs.
gdb akonadictl startand see where that aborts?

Re: Akonadi won't start

Tried with dolphin and copied a handful of small and big files, created and filled up folders in /home/larry/.local/share/akonadi/ but no issue there.
As I mentioned in #12 downgrading some qt packages allowed me to start Akonadi again and there was no update for ecryptfs since 2024.

Re: Akonadi won't start
https://github.com/qt/qtbase/commits/v6 … e_unix.cpp doesn't look overly suspicious and since dolphin can copy (maybe try pcmanfm-qt? to make sure dolphin isn't using some special KDE function there, but) the problem is likely not coming from there?

This is from yet another box, which was last updated at 2025-09-29. Qt6 is on version 6.9.2 there. Same setup: XFS partition and HOME is ecryptfs.

Then the old error gets manually read/written into a qt_temp.HqmGfm tmpfile and the inode linked to Akonadi.error.old
The diff is actually bigger: https://github.com/qt/qtbase/compare/v6 … 687bdd7317 (the page will load very slow) and the problem seems to be that ::copy_file_range only returns TriStateResult::Failed or TriStateResult::Success where EINVAL (and others?) should probably return TriStateResult::NotSupported
