I removed my nVidia card and the driver, and Akonadi starts OK now. I didn't experience the problems in the other reports in comment 52 of ^C not working in xterm (or Konsole, either).
I have a suspicion that I was mistaken in comment 32 when I said that Akonadi only started 4 out of 5 times after renaming /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.Akonadi.Control.service. Testing now, I found I wasn't always allowing enough time, so "akonadictl status" might say "stopped", but a moment later it would say "running". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to akonadi in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1245979 Title: After Upgrade to Kubuntu 13.10 akondai fails to register at d-bus session, making kde-pim suit unusable Status in Akonadi - The PIM Storage Service: Unknown Status in “akonadi” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Upon opening Kontact akonadi is supposed to be loaded but fails with the following error: Akonadi fails to register at d-bus session.
