What's the trick to getting it to run? Mysql does not want to run either...
Akonadi won't run without mysql up and running.

Got it. mysql_install_db, then do a chown at /var/lib/mysql to mysql.mysql.


Still no Akonadi.

Sheesh.

Yeah, I guess. I'm running 13.1 on this one box, and the other two are
still on 12.2, mainly because of KDE-4.x and it's continuing birthing
problems.

I did get akonadi to start by wiping everything kde in my home directory, so
there is something that it does not like from KDE-4.3.4, which I built and
installed after removing KDE-4.3.2.

Wiping my home just to get something to run is not worth it in my book.

One upgrades to get new or better functionality, not new bells and whistles.
I cannot understand why I want to upgrade the other slack boxes that I have
here. I want KDE 3.5.x, or maybe KDE 5.x.x, but not 4.x.x, based on my
experiences with 4.x.x.

I'll goof with slack 13.1 on this box until I need it for something, or I
grow weary of the pain.

I second this opinion, but the problem lies in the desktop manager choice
not in the distro, trouble is most kde tools and libs are good while the
'portage/intergration/update process' is deeply tainted by crystals OD.
