Its okay. I didn't try it, but now I tried it, and it does not work still. I
don't think its an nvidia + wayland interaction problem, because as I said when
I created a new user profile, this simulating a totally new and fresh /home
folder for it, where no akonadi, no .config for the said apps, no .local nor
.cache resides - and this way, Kontact could start up as usual. The bug only
happens, as I said, after logging into account, that Kontact throws up with the
account wizard, at the very first startup. After account is attached, the crash
keeps happening on the said freshly made profile aswell, narrowing down the
problem to something happening either in the akonadi database, or some rogue
bug in the data files. And only happens in kontact, where all the other
programs are unified here.
If I launch the separate applications (korganizer, kmail, kaddressbook
etc-etc..) as I mentioned earlier, everything just works as intended.
Also a plus note, of why it can't be Nvidia, (and no offense, but it is
starting to get tiresome, that everyone is constantly blaming Nvidia) is that
this exact same bug happens on my Mom's HP AMD (!!!) based (both GPU and CPU)
is experiencing the same bug.
Additionally nonetheless, I have a Lenovo T430 aswell, which is pure Intel
based, and this bug is present there aswell.
As I said, this bug had risen recently, everything was fine 2-3 months ago. I
guess its the new 25.08 upgrades
