Description Steve Grubb 2017-03-08 01:04:34 UTC
Description of problem:
I updated kontact today and now its asking me to set up my accounts. It was working fine until this update. I have 12 years of data in an account. Did this update lose all my information? Should it have migrated settings or something? Is it incompatible with previous kontact?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kontact-16.08.3-2.fc24.x86_64
kmail-16.08.3-2.fc24.x86_64

Steps to Reproduce:
1. dny -y update
2. open kontact


Actual results:
My email

Expected results:
Being asked to setup an account.

Comment 1 Fedora Update System 2017-03-08 14:42:04 UTC
kdepim-16.12.2-3.fc24 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 24. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2017-81bed9e1d4

Comment 2 Steve Grubb 2017-03-08 23:56:54 UTC
OK. With the update mentioned, kontact does have my data again. However, its very unstable and still unusable. It segfaults starting up, akonadi segfaults when fetching mail, and then it loses connection with the imap server. 

Mar  8 18:46:15 x2 akonadi_imap_resource: org.kde.pim.akonadicore: The item sync is being rolled-back.
Mar  8 18:46:15 x2 akonadi_imap_resource: org.kde.pim.imapresource: Fetch job failed  "Connection to server lost."
Mar  8 18:46:15 x2 akonadi_imap_resource: org.kde.pim.imapresource: ""
Mar  8 18:46:47 x2 akonadi_imap_resource: org.kde.pim.kimap: Connection to server lost  0
Mar  8 18:46:47 x2 akonadi_imap_resource: org.kde.pim.imapresource: Session login cancelled

Kontact is so complex the only solution is to reboot the system. I can usually access 1 or 2 emails before it loses the session.

Comment 4 Rex Dieter 2017-03-09 11:47:52 UTC
You can probably consider some variant of the following to avoid having to reboot or restart session:


(command line):

akonadictl restart

or even

akonadictl stop
(and it should restart itself on demand the next time you launch an akonadi client, like kmail or kontact)


Of course, the more pressing issue here is:
akonadi_imap_resource: org.kde.pim.kimap: Connection to server lost  0

Comment 5 Steve Grubb 2017-03-09 12:54:43 UTC
I filed several bz upstream about how unstable this new release is:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=377399 kontact loses imap connections constantly

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=377393 /usr/bin/akonadiserver crashes

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=377395 Kontact is crashing during start up

I also see the retrace server starting to count up crashes.

Comment 7 Fedora Update System 2017-03-11 11:50:43 UTC
kdepim-16.12.2-3.fc24 has been pushed to the Fedora 24 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.

Comment 8 kevin 2017-03-11 22:30:17 UTC
KMail will not start because Akonadi will not start

$ akonadictl start
/usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed

error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/akonadi-kmg.pbmcxO/mysql.socket' (111 "Connection refused")'

Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/tmp/akonadi-kmg.pbmcxO/mysql.socket' exists!
