More nepomuk/kmail problems and workarounds

I'd hate to be the ones trying to track down these issues, because not everyone is affected with any of them, as far as I can see. Anyway, the latest updates broke my Kontact, so here's what I've gathered as work-arounds. Since the update, Kontact will not start, and it appears to be unrelated to mysql or nepomuk. First work-around - all the apps run as stand-alone apps, so it's possible to get by while the cause of this is being sought. KMail still suffers from delays and freezes when sending, the fix for which is promised in 4.4.1. It's possible to work around this as a temporary measure. Second workaround - close kontact or kmail and kaddressbook if you are running stand-alone apps. Disable strigi in systemsettings. Stop nepomuk, delete the database and restart nepomukserver. The actual commands you need are (as user) qdbus org.kde.NepomukServer /nepomukserver org.kde.NepomukServer.quit rm -r .kde/share/apps/nepomuk nepomukserver This will, of course, wipe out all the database, including any tags you've added. In theory, I understand that it's possible to do a more selective wipe of the database. If this matters to you you can find the instructions at http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Metadata/Nepomuk/TipsAndTri... indexed_data Hope this helps some of you :-) Anne -- New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org Just found a cool new feature?
