Dear KDE Experts, I'm using KDE on Fedora 38 fully updated. I normally use KPIM services (korganizer and kcontact) with MySQL (no MariaDB). Everything was working well up to the last update of Plasma and KDEPim. Since then I'm unable to have akonadi started. Initially it was refusing to connect to the db: > akonadictl start org.kde.pim.akonadictl: Starting Akonadi Server... org.kde.pim.akonadictl: done. Connecting to deprecated signal QDBusConnectionInterface::serviceOwnerChanged(QString,QString,QString) org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: Starting up the Akonadi Server... org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: Failed to connect to database! org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: Database error: "Can't connect to local server through socket '/run/user/526/akonadi/mysql.socket' (2) QMYSQL: Unable to connect" org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: Shutting down AkonadiServer... org.kde.pim.akonadicontrol: Application '/usr/bin/akonadiserver' exited normally... It seems this is a well know bug: https://gist.github.com/aldolat/e8066baf8a390e5d5f5ed6e0849ec78c following their advice I have modified my ~/.config/akonadi/akonadiserverrc in: [Debug] Tracer=null [%General] Driver=QMYSQL [QMYSQL] Host=localhost Name=akonadi Options="UNIX_SOCKET=/var/run/mysqld/mysqlx.sock" ServerPath=/usr/sbin/mysqld StartServer=false Now akonadi connects to the local server but it fails to use the database "akonadi" > akonadictl start org.kde.pim.akonadictl: Starting Akonadi Server... org.kde.pim.akonadictl: done. Connecting to deprecated signal QDBusConnectionInterface::serviceOwnerChanged(QString,QString,QString) org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: Failed to use database "akonadi" org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: Database error: "QMYSQL: Unable to connect" org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: Failed to connect to database! org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: Database error: "QMYSQL: Unable to connect" org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: Shutting down AkonadiServer... org.kde.pim.akonadicontrol: Application '/usr/bin/akonadiserver' exited normally... But MySQL is running and looking at it: > mysql -u root -p mysql> SELECT version(); +-----------+ | version() | +-----------+ | 8.0.36 | +-----------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql> show databases; +--------------------+ | Database | +--------------------+ | akonadi | | information_schema | | mysql | | performance_schema | | sys | +--------------------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec) The "akonadi" database exists mysql> SHOW GRANTS FOR 'cazzola'@'localhost' ; +--------------------------------------------------------------+ | Grants for cazzola@localhost | +--------------------------------------------------------------+ | GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO `cazzola`@`localhost` | | GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `akonadi`.* TO `cazzola`@`localhost` | +--------------------------------------------------------------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec) My user has all privileges to access it. mysql> SELECT PLUGIN_NAME, PLUGIN_STATUS -> FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PLUGINS -> WHERE PLUGIN_NAME LIKE '%socket%'; +-------------+---------------+ | PLUGIN_NAME | PLUGIN_STATUS | +-------------+---------------+ | auth_socket | ACTIVE | +-------------+---------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) Also the authentication plugin is installed and active. I tried to google the last error I get without luck. To complete the picture I've the following packages installed: akonadi.x86_64 1.13.0-122.fc38 akonadi-import-wizard.x86_64 23.08.3-1.fc38 kf5-akonadi-calendar.x86_64 23.08.3-1.fc38 kf5-akonadi-contacts.x86_64 23.08.3-1.fc38 kf5-akonadi-mime.x86_64 23.08.3-1.fc38 kf5-akonadi-notes.x86_64 23.08.3-1.fc38 kf5-akonadi-search.x86_64 23.08.3-1.fc38 kf5-akonadi-server.x86_64 23.08.3-1.fc38 kf5-akonadi-server-mysql.x86_64 23.08.3-1.fc38 kf5-mailimporter-akonadi.x86_64 23.08.3-1.fc38 kf5-pimcommon-akonadi.x86_64 23.08.3-1.fc38 kf5-akonadi-server-mysql.x86_64 23.08.3-1.fc38 mysql-community-client.x86_64 8.0.36-10.fc38 mysql-community-client-plugins.x86_64 8.0.36-10.fc38 mysql-community-common.x86_64 8.0.36-10.fc38 mysql-community-icu-data-files.x86_64 8.0.36-10.fc38 mysql-community-libs.x86_64 8.0.36-10.fc38 mysql-community-server.x86_64 8.0.36-10.fc38 mysql-connector-odbc.x86_64 8.3.0-10.fc38 mysql-selinux.noarch 1.0.10-1.fc38 mysql-shell.x86_64 8.0.36-1.fc38 mysql80-community-release.noarch fc38-4 qt5-qtbase-mysql.x86_64 5.15.11-7.fc38 My Linux Box runs: - Fedora 38, - plasmashell 5.27.10, - Qt: 5.15.11 - KDE Frameworks: 5.113.0 - kf5-config: 1.0 Sorry for the long message but I tried to show whatever I discovered in these last weeks.

F38 kwin-x11 Desktop effects were restarted...

by John Pilkington

Hi: On 9 Feb my f38 system was updated from kwin 5.27.4 to 5.27.10 and I started seeing popups and minor hesitations linked to graphics resets. I haven't found a reliable way to reproduce them. Today I downgraded kwin-x11 etc back to 5.27.4, and opening Firefox still gave the popup. nVidia 470xx from rpmfusion, MythTV master. Google finds lots of years-old hits, including kde bug 385324, and a suggestion to retoggle kwin with Alt/Shift/f12, but this behaviour was new to me. Any comments or suggestions? TIA John P

2024-03-04 @ 17:00 UTC - Fedora 40 Blocker Review Meeting

by Adam Williamson

# F40 Blocker Review meeting # Date: 2024-03-04 # Time: 17:00 UTC # Location: https://matrix.to/#/#blocker-review:fedoraproject.org?web-instance[elemen... Hi folks! It's time for another blocker review meeting. We have 2 proposed freeze exception for Beta, and 5 proposed blockers for Final. The meeting will be on Matrix. Click the link above to join in a web client - you can authenticate with your FAS account - or use a dedicated client of your choosing. If you have time this weekend, you can take a look at the proposed or accepted blockers before the meeting - the full lists can be found here: https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/ . Remember, you can also now vote on bugs outside of review meetings! If you look at the bug list in the blockerbugs app, you'll see links labeled "Vote!" next to all proposed blockers and freeze exceptions. Those links take you to tickets where you can vote. https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review has instructions on how exactly you do it. We usually go through the tickets shortly before the meeting and apply any clear votes, so the meeting will just cover bugs where there wasn't a clear outcome in the ticket voting yet. **THIS MEANS IF YOU VOTE NOW, THE MEETING WILL BE SHORTER!** We'll be evaluating these bugs to see if they violate any of the Release Criteria and warrant the blocking of a release if they're not fixed. Information on the release criteria for F40 can be found on the wiki [0]. For more information about the Blocker and Freeze exception process, check out these links: - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_freeze_exception_bug_process And for those of you who are curious how a Blocker Review Meeting works - or how it's supposed to go and you want to run one - check out the SOP on the wiki: - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_Blocker_Bug_Meeting Have a good weekend and see you on Monday!
