You are missing Kalarm akonadi resources. You can't save alarm without
resources. For all kalarm problems I recommend the new kalarm forum because
Kalarm author answer quickly. See link on Kalarm home page at
http://www.astrojar.org.uk/kalarm/
Akonadi migrations are often a problem and require manual tweaks. But as
Akonadi is *only a cache* for datas, you can safely remove all akonadi
configs (in ~/.config/akonadi and ~/.local/share/akonadi for mysql conf).
You will have to recreate resources but this can help to solve the errors in
your log. Be sure to stop Akonadi, Nepomuk and Pim programs first (or close
your session and do that from console).
