Usually this comes with a log you can view, a kind of self-test report that lists which components do and which do not work, usually including error messages. Please include this report *in full*. Also look for any error logs in ~/.local/share/akonadi like akonadiserver.error and akonadi_control.error and db_data/mysql.err If you find anything, please review it and post any errors and the surroundings messages. Or attach in full after you made sure it does not contain and sensitive information regarding your privacy. Please also provide the output of the following command *in full*: apt list --installed | egrep "^akonadi|^mariadb|^mysql" Also please provide the output of the following command after you attempted to start KAddressBook. ps aux | egrep "akonadi|mysql|mariadb" Without more detailed information your bug report is not actionable.
