Bug ID: 306805
Severity: normal
Version: 4.8
Priority: NOR
Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
Summary: akonadi 4.8.5 reports error that "mysql.servers"
cannot be locked
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux
Reporter: joulupukin.tontut at yandex.ru
Hardware: Gentoo Packages
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Component: general
Product: Akonadi
I don't know what the consequences of this are. But when I open the
"AkonadiTray" configuration of Akonadi dialog and there go to "Test...", I see
a red X on "MySQL service log contains errors." The only error in this file
(the others look like Info or Warning) is this:
[ERROR] Can't open and lock privilege tables: Table 'mysql.servers' doesn't
exist
On the FAQ page of Akonadi http://userbase.kde.org/Akonadi_4.4/Troubleshooting
I am told that this error means I should place some config file into
~/.config/akonadi/mysql-local.conf .
In my view, this is a bug. If akonadi wants that config file there, it should
create it there when akonadi starts for the first time. By default the user
should not be expected to edit any akonadi-specific config files just to make
akonadi work.
(Also, I'm not sure if this is actually a "problem", but I have a feeling that
my akonadi is not working properly, so I'm trying to find out anything that
could be wrong with it. Of course, ideally, a fresh akonadi installation should
work without any error messages in any logs...)
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install akonadi and set it to use an internal MySQL.
2. Open the AkonadiTray > Settings and check the "Test..." button from the
second tab.
Actual Results:
This error message is shown in a red question mark and there is a FAQ on the
web that tells me how to edit or modify an Akonadi config file manually.
Expected Results:
The Akonadi should set up its own config files in such a way that it works. If
this is something that the user can choose one way or another, it should be
configurable in a user interface. If this is something that can be "fixed" with
no choices to be made, akonadi should fix itself.
