I've tried installing KAlarm under Kubuntu 20.10, but the first time it runs
it starts Akonadi, MariaDB/MySQL, etc. Do you want me to write a bug report?:

        $ kalarm --version
        kalarm 3.0.1 (KDE Apps 20.08.1)

	$ akonadictl status
        Akonadi Control: stopped
        Akonadi Server: stopped
	[...]

        $ kalarm
	[...]
        org.kde.pim.akonadicontrol: Service
org.freedesktop.Akonadi.Control.lock already registered, terminating now.
        org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: Starting up the Akonadi Server...
        Installing MariaDB/MySQL system tables in
'/home/user/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/' ...
        OK

        To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy
        support-files/mysql.server to the right place for your system


        PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MariaDB root USER !
        To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands:

        '/usr/bin/mysqladmin' -u root password 'new-password'
        '/usr/bin/mysqladmin' -u root -h kub password 'new-password'
