After upgrading mariadb-connector-c to 3.0.6-1.fc28, the auth_gssapi_plugin for the client doesn't work properly: org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: Database error: "Plugin auth_gssapi_client could not be loaded: lib64/mariadb/plugin/auth_gssapi_client.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory QMYSQL: Unable to connect" Downgrading to 3.0.3-3.fc28, things begin to work immediately.
Hello, this can be tricky to reproduce. -- I used VM with the "Fedora-KDE-Live-x86_64-28-1.1.iso". Installed, created user, ran. Akonadi was OK. 'akonadictl status' nor 'journalctl -xe' showed any error I updated mariadb-server (better said - I updated all mariadb pkgs without the connector) Akonadi was OK both after 'akonadictl restart' and system reboot. 'akonadictl status' nor 'journalctl -xe' showed any error I updated mariadb-connector-c. Akonadi was OK both after 'akonadictl restart' and system reboot. 'akonadictl status' nor 'journalctl -xe' showed any error I updated the whole system (+- 900 packages), but still it looks like it works fine. -- That was the first touch. Is there any special configuration needed or does Akonadi uste the gss plugin by default?
I have akonadi set up to use a remote MariaDB server (with the server also fully upgraded on F28): Relevant portion of .config/akonadi/akonadiserverrc [QMYSQL] Host=db.example.com Name=akonadi Options= Password= ServerPath=/usr/libexec/mysqld StartServer=false User=myusername The remote MariaDB server is using GSSAPI authentication which works well for all kinds of other apps I use requiring my users to auth with GSSAPI (Kerberos creds). With the previous version this worked "automagically" After the upgrade to the more recent mariadb-connector-c on the client is when things fail. Downgrading and starting akonadi immediately works with GSSAPI.
This continues to occur with akonadi under Fedora 29 with mariadb-connector-c-3.0.6-2.fc29.x86_64. However, I was able to workaround the issue by adding a symlink in "/home/myusername": So... /home/myusername/lib64 -> /usr/lib64 seem to allow akonadi to start. Perhaps the built-in plugin dir is missing the leading / ?
Sadly, I don't have capacity to debug and fix it in following weeks
I was able to reproduce the issue with a simple C code and I can confirm the Akonadi does not play any role in it. You can watch the discussion upstream: https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/CONC-383
It seems like I found a solution for your problem. The bad news is that all software that builds on top of mariadb-connector-c everywhere has to be most likely rebuilt ... -- If you want to speed this up for yourself, you can use the latest mariadb-connector-c builds and rebuild the Akonadi on top of them manualy.
