akonadi won't start : libmysql.c error

serafean · 07-14-2009, 02:57 PM

Hi, trying to start akonadi under KDE4.3 RC2, but it always fails :

Code:

[akonadiserver] akonadiserver: libmysql.c:4301: setup_one_fetch_function: Assertion `param->buffer_length != 0' failed

(complete output here)

QT 4.5.2
Mysql 5.0.83

I guess we can start at the beginning, doesn't hurt to check;

Code:

mysql -u root -p

I don't use KDE so not sure what user akonadi uses;

Code:

mysql -u akonadi -p

This may help;

I would ask on irc freenode channel #gentoo-kde and #akonadi

I know that this is probably not the answer that you want, but it is a known issue, and hopefully it will be resolved soon:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=267513

I don't personally use KDE4, so I can't offer much help, but I may start digging into the issue if nothing shows up on bugzilla in a few days.
