Hi all,

I've been using kde on this machine for several months, now.  But suddenly, 
akonadi won't start:


=====================================================================
mdiehl at mikeworkstation:~$ akonadictl start

Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/run/user/1000/akonadi/mysql.socket' exists!

=====================================================================

Any ideas would be most appreciated.

Mike.
