KDE Nepomuk indexing fails...

[temnozor]

after starting KDE (currently 4.7 but i think it was same fail on 4.6) i always get the notification

Code: Select all

Nepomuk Indexing Agents Have Been Disabled
The Nepomuk service is not available or fully operational and attempts to rectify this have failed. Therefore indexing of all data stored in the Akonadi PIM service has been disabled, whic…

The following problems were detected:
Calling the Nepomuk storage service failed: 'The name org.kde.NepomukStorage was not provided by any .service files'.
Additional help can be found here: userbase.kde.org/Akonadi

any ideas how to solve this?

I had a similar problem and it turned out there were some "bad" files
that nepomuk/strigi did not know how to handle.

You might try to sort this out by having nepomuk index only a very
small directory and see if that works, and build up from there.

But you might also (probably more likely) have a more serious
problem.

A similar problem was reported on here http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=66 ... 6&start=15 and here http://userbase.kde.org/Akonadi_4.4/Tro ... n_Disabled

See if the commands they suggest work.

Let us know if you manage to get it sorted and how.

Best of luck

I have it too and I also have this:

Code: Select all

 emerge -av nepomuk strigi akonadi

I haven´t found a way to untie the blockages yet.

I´ll also visit the link; may be it helps but I doubt it.

Short annotation: I found several kde packages in world file and removed them from it. Now the
blocks are gone. I recompile the packages that form the desktop search.
May be the error dissappears by this ? In the meantime I´ve disabled strigi in system-settings for now.

Recompiling did not solve it.
There are so many file-collisions recently. Here too

Code: Select all

* Detected file collision(s):
 * 
 *      /usr/bin/akonadiconsole
 *      /usr/share/apps/akonadiconsole/akonadiconsoleui.rc

 * Package 'kde-base/akonadi-4.4.11.1' merged despite file collisions. If
 * necessary, refer to your elog messages for the whole content of the

Sorry for the bump, but does anyone care at all?

Code: Select all

org.kde.NepomukStorage

Where does this file if it is a file reside anyway?

I think I have the same problem. Often on KDE I get the message below on the picture... It's really wired....

Or maybe someone knows how to disable the popup message?

I had the same problems with Nepomuk Indexing Agents Have Been Disabled, file collisions, and emerge failures due to blockages caused by libkdepim after updating world.

I finally worked around it by manually deleting the three collision files referred to (and cleaning out my world file), and then akonadi would merge.

However, then I couldn't run emerge @preserved-rebuild (which had 10 kmail related pkgs) because the just installed akonadi then blocked kdepim-common-libs-4.7.0.

I did emerge -C akonadi, and then emerge @preserved-rebuild completed, and also got rid of the soft-block libkdepim.

Code: Select all

gentoo wrc # emerge @preserved-rebuild

Then (wonder of wonders), I opened kmail-4.7.0 and migrated my huge kmail Mail folder from /home/user successfully.

At least all my 15 folders were there, but sadly not populated with any of my old emails.

However, under the folder menu at the top of kmail there are "update folder" and "update folder and its subfolders" options, and you can select a folder in your main kmail folders list, and then go back and use the menu option to import all the saved emails from the /home/user/Mail directory into the proper folders listed kmail-4.7.0

Seems to have worked perfectly- FINALLY! I had been struggling with this for months and months, but apparently kde has finally gotten kmail in a usable state again. Even started using Thunderbird as my only email client.

I had the same problems with Nepomuk Indexing Agents Have Been Disabled, file collisions, and emerge failures due to blockages caused by libkdepim after updating world.

I know someone who does not have the issue with the indexing service but still encounters file collisions now and then. Whether he had them in akonadi libkdepim combination I do not know.

I finally worked around it by manually deleting the three collision files referred to (and cleaning out my world file), and then akonadi would merge.

Up to now I´ve used another method to compensate for the file collisions to make packages like akonadi merge dispite them. Haven´t had the chuzpe to just delete the files yet. But you encouraged me now to do just that..

The nepomuk indexing fails whether akonadi merges or not however. And kmail - yes kmail is unusable here of course. Thanks for describing how to get the mails back into their respective folders. I may use the tip one day although I mainly use claws-mail. I only use kmail when I want a change of scenery.

And the world file is sooo important. The times that I forgot about it are long over; I often siepe through it to clean it out. Entries there often cause blocks and circular dependencies.

KDE 4.7.2
I deleted the nepomuk folder in ~.kde4/share/apps
On my next boot kde recreated that folder and I started strigi-indexing from
systemsettings. Now indexing works. Must have been a former setting that
did not work although I had never edited anything in there.
