Can you confirm that you are using a system wide MySQL server and have 
configured it properly?

The most common case for a backtrace in the log is database connection failure 
or loss.
I have no personal experience with using a system wide MySQL daemon so I won't 
be able to give you any hints on how to check that its setup is correct.

This is almost certainly just an effect of the problem Test 12 has found in 
the log.
The Akonadi server process can't be found on the D-Bus session bus because it 
shutdown or crashed, Test 6 just states what it sees and that is Akonadi 
server not being registered at the bus.
