thanks

Hey,

from the current broken akonadi it is hard till impossible to come to a 
working akonadi again. Either you go to the mysql level and look through what 
is going wrong there. Or clean the akonadi dir /home/nick/.local/share/akonadi 
and start again. Do not forget to backup.

was akonadi running before?

Without a running akonadi you can't use kontact...

Regads,

sandro
