Akonadi woes

 Akonadi woesI'm running M11, recently installed, fully upgraded with community repos, using the liquorix 2.6.39 kernel (rq for USB3 ports) and KDE4.5.1. I can't use kmail because Akonadi throws up an error. See attached image. Closing the error closes kmail.
I've tried the troubleshooting link and googled parts of the error message. The closest I felt to a solution was talk of missing resource agents, but nothing I tried works. Has anyone seen this? Alternatively, is there an easy way to upgrade KDE? That might fix it.

Re: Akonadi woes Easier to enable the debian backports repository and Reload. There you can find 3.2 kernels.
# debian backports repository deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports/ squeeze-backports main There have always been a few reports of problems with some liquorix kernels. If liquorix give problems just install another kernel (I'd remove the old liquorix kernel first so I could use the existing menu.list) Don't forget if using a proprietary video driver you will need to reinstall it for the new kernel. _________________ "There is no "slippery slope" toward loss of liberties, only a long staircase where each step downward must first be tolerated by the American people and their leaders."

Re: Akonadi woes Thanks. I'll start by replacing the kernel.

Re: Akonadi woes We have KDE 4.6.5 and 4.7.4 in a special kde community repo, but Debian still had the old 4.4 kmail at that time. There is an upgraded libakonadi along with the new KDEs in there, though.

Re: Akonadi woes Maybe I should try one of those, since it's akonadi that's the problem. Is it just a matter of enabling the repo and upgrading?

Re: Akonadi woes I think the directions have been stickied.

Re: Akonadi woes [Solved]
I used Tim's method for 4.7.4 (Thanks Tim.) Had to run aptitude twice to complete the upgrade, and I'm in business. More or less. I have a functioning desktop but kmail still errors out on akonadi. It seems all that PIM stuff is still back at 4.4, so maybe it will sort itself out eventually. Oh, well, I had a bit of fun and now I have KDE 4.7.-) edit: Belay that! I went into systemsettings/personal information and managed to add a couple of resources and now kmail works as expected. I think I'll mark this solved. _________________ AMD E-450 64-bit APU, AMD M1 chipset, AMD Radeon 6320 video, 6GB RAM The question is half the size of the universe, and the answer takes up the other half.
