Description Adam Williamson 2019-06-01 00:20:33 UTC
It seems like in current Rawhide KDE tests, an "Akonadi migration agent" popup notification appears and spins seemingly forever. I don't know what it's trying to tell us and I don't know why it never goes away, but it's messing with the openQA tests.

For e.g. this one: https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/tests/407894 . Note the video recording: https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/tests/407894/file/video.ogv . This notification is present throughout the entire test, and slows it down considerably (the test relies on waiting for a 'still screen' quite often, and it never gets one because of this constantly-changing notification).

Comment 1 Adam Williamson 2019-07-03 20:52:38 UTC
Moving to kdepim-runtime, as that's the package this akonadi_migration_agent is in. This still happens frequently and still screws up the openQA tests.

Comment 2 Rex Dieter 2019-07-03 22:31:33 UTC
Triggered by this?

/usr/share/akonadi/agents/migrationagent.desktop


So, dug around a bit, and on my user acct, I see
~/.config/akonadi-migrationrc
that contains:
[gidmigratortext/directory]
MigrationState=Complete

maybe we can hack that config into the live user to trick it into not running?

Comment 3 Adam Williamson 2019-07-04 15:25:21 UTC
Well sure, but it's running on *the installed system* too. That test I linked to runs on an installed system, not in the live environment.

Comment 4 Kevin Kofler 2019-07-10 22:54:58 UTC
This may or may not be the same as bug #1709054 that I ran into a while ago and that was encountered again by a user on #fedora-kde, so I interlinked the bugs.

Comment 5 Kevin Kofler 2019-07-16 22:26:00 UTC
*** Bug 1709054 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 6 Kevin Kofler 2019-07-16 22:28:11 UTC
So I just had the empty dummy job notification happen again in a VM. This time, I actually looked at the running processes, and there was indeed an akonadi_migration_agent running with PID 1578. So I did "kill 1578" and the dummy job went away! There was just a "failed" notification that I was able to click away. So it is the akonadi_migration_agent that is to blame in both cases. It gets stuck for some reason, sometimes with a proper name on the job and sometimes without.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 31 development cycle.
Changing version to '31'.

Still happening in 32, fresh install.

Comment 10 Adam Williamson 2020-10-14 22:35:51 UTC
I don't think we're seeing this any more in F33, but leaving open for F31/F32.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 31 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 31 on 2020-11-24.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
Fedora 'version' of '31'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 31 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Setting to 32 per Charles Ferrari comment.

Fedora 32 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2021-05-25. Fedora 32 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

This bug has just happened to me on Fedora 37 KDE Spin.  Akonadi Migration Agent notification spinning endlessly.  Reading through the thread, I was able to find the process with 'ps aux | grep akonadi' and kill it, which the notification said that it had closed unexpectedly.

The system was installed months ago with Fedora 36, and updated to F37 on release.  I haven't seen this bug before, but it does still occur although it's rare.

Comment 16 Robert McBroom 2023-03-17 04:33:43 UTC
Installed Fedora-Server-KVM-38_Beta-1.3.x86_64.qcow2 in a QEMU/KVM virtual machine and this behavior is reoccuring

Comment 17 Adam Williamson 2023-03-17 06:15:31 UTC
Er...did you hit the wrong bug by accident? This is a KDE bug.

Comment 22 Adam Williamson 2024-05-07 15:53:44 UTC
From my notes it does look like this went away. The openQA needles got cleaned up by the unused needle collector, and we dropped the test workaround.

Comment 23 Alvin 2024-10-09 16:57:40 UTC
I just saw 3 pop-ups on my Fedora 40. They always appear when logging into KDE.
  akonadi_migration_agent
  In progress... (Failed)
  Application closed unexpectedly.

Comment 24 Adam Williamson 2024-10-09 21:38:04 UTC
yeah, openQA has been running into this again lately too. I'm not sure if it went away then came back, or we just got lucky for a bit.

Yeah, I'm having this issue along with a bunch of stuff since 6.11.3-300 with fedora 41. Went back to 6.11.2 and kwin isn't freezing up and crashing anymore, but this notification is still popping up. Y'all think I'm good to kill this, or will it mess up all of akonadi stuff? All my email, calendars, contacts, and stuff need akonadi and has become important to my workflow. 

Unfortunately, I might try to find a replacement, it seems to always have some problems, and it's always a pain for me to fix lol. Sucks because I think it's neat.

Comment 26 TR Bentley 2024-10-28 14:37:20 UTC
I Have a machine that has been upgraded since F35 via DNF.
This issue only appeared on my F40 machine when Plasma 6.2.2 arrived in October.  Googling I found a fix (which worked).

Increase innodb-log-buffer-size from 1m to 2m in ./local/share/akpmadi/mysql.conf.

Since then I have upgraded to F41 and this change has been reverted back to 1m.

To day DBF decided to upgrade my Plasma 6.2.2. to 6.2.2 (don't ask) but the problem reappeared after I rebooted.

I Upgraded the value again and rebooted and now my machine is happy again.
