I've resorted to deleting everything in my home directory containing "akonadi" once all the directories were gone stuff started to work again. I had to reconfigure kmail to find my mail folders and I think I've lost my calender (since I'm using it as a front end for google calender I think I can get most of this back).
I have no idea what the problem was but it is a bug that so much could be so fragile and that the recovery is so difficult. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1197193 Title: akonadi dead To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/1197193/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
