Re: akonadi failing to connect to database

[Brad Alexander <storm16@gmail.com>]

Thanks Kevin. I think this is what is broken. It's got a split brained config. So let me ask this...Which is a better backend? PostgresQL, MySQL or SQLITE? My understanding is that sqlite is not as heavy as mysql, at the cost of one thread (or query) at a time. Having said that, I know nothing about this particular use case.  And if MySQL is the right answer, can I use MariaDB?

Thanks,

The package doesn't change any user level configuration.
You probably have to install akonadi-backend-mysql or change the config
$HOME/.config/akonadi/akonadiserverrc so that it uses QSQLITE3 instead of
QMYSQL as the driver.
