[Nix-dev] Cannot start KMail, akonadi cannot be started
Hi, I'm trying nixos with KDE in a virtualbox VM atm. I'm trying to get KMail running, it says it needs akonadi. According to this[0] thread on github, I should include kde4.akonadi kde4.kdepim_runtime in my packages. I included them, but after a reboot the KDE Plasma desktop crashes and I get back to the KDM login screen. How to properly start the akonadi daemon or solve this problem in another way? I guess this is not entirely nixos related, so if some of you would help me please (we could outsource this discussion from the ML if you guys want...). I'm a complete kde/nixos newbie, though, so please don't mind stupid questions! -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Kind regards, Matthias Beyer Proudly sent with mutt.

Some kde4 packages have problems unless you set services.xserver.desktopManager.kde4.enable = true; (because kde4 tends to rely a lot on environment to find daemons, plugins, etc.) It's possible that the problems can be also resolved by kde4.wrapper, but I have no experience with that.

I had this already in my config, so this doesn't seem to work.
It's possible that the problems can be also resolved by kde4.wrapper,
but I have no experience with that.
But I was able to install the packages by putting:
{
packageOverrides = pkgs: {
kdenliveWrapped = pkgs.kde4.wrapped pkgs.kde4.kdenlive;
kdepimWrapped = pkgs.kde4.wrapped pkgs.kde4.kdepim;
kdepimlibsWrapped = pkgs.kde4.wrapped pkgs.kde4.kdepimlibs;
kdepimRuntimeWrapped= pkgs.kde4.wrapped
pkgs.kde4.kdepim_runtime;
akonadiWrapped = pkgs.kde4.wrapped pkgs.kde4.akonadi;
}
}
in ~/.nixpkgs/config.nix
I can not start the akonadi server by executing
akonadiserver
in a terminal.
So, how to improve this now? I want a system wide install and I do not
want to start this server by hand, how to do this?
Are there any tweaks to specify other options for akonadi? As far as I
understand, this is a daemon server for almost everything which is
related to Kontact, KMail and KAddressbook and the like - I need it to
be _really_ fast, as if this stores my email, this will handle 1k
mails per day (mailinglists). So any speed improvements would be nice!
:-)
Anyways, thanks a lot for your help by now!

Re: [Nix-dev] Cannot start KMail, akonadi cannot be started
Hi,
short update: After I did a `nixos-rebuild switch`, I can boot and
start my kde session, but the plasma desktop crashes right after I
logged in via kdm.
Trying to solve this now. Hints appreciated! :-)
