Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
I'm running Jessie and performed my daily aptitude full-upgrade. When I
rebooted my system, the kmail migration tool started. I told it to upgrade
but when kontact started there was no data showing. My calendar and
contacts lists are empty.
Gary, please read
Akonadi misconception #1: where is my data?
http://blogs.kde.org/2011/11/13/akonadi-misconception-1-where-my-data
It may well be that you original data is still there.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)? I tried re-running the kmail-migrator --interactive but it
said it had already been run and refused to run again.
I suggest not to run the migrator. I have read repeatedly that it doesn´t
always do its job very well.
* What was the outcome of this action?
I still don't have my calendar or contact information.
First: Do you have a backup of your home directory? Then make sure not to
overwrite it with the current state. If not: Then next time have one.
Second: Are original data files still there?
Calendar:
martin@merkaba:~/.kde/share/apps/korganizer> ls -l std.ics
-rw-r--r-- 1 martin martin 7343725 Aug 26 20:59 std.ics
But could be at a different place for you.
Contacts:
martin@merkaba:~/.kde/share/apps/kabc> ls -l std.vcf
-rw-r--r-- 1 martin martin 0 Aug 27 11:12 std.vcf
I already have them all in standard akonadi location
~/.local/share/contacts
as one vcf file per contact.
If you do not find anything, I suggest you install akonadiconsole.
There should be an address book and a calendar resource. Select "Configure
Natively..." and look where they point at.
Also somewhere in userbase.kde.org alternative storage locations for contacts
and calendars are mentioned.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I want kontact to show my calendar and contact information.
Well first locate your data on disk and if really gone, restore from backup.
We can look further from there.
In the moment I think it is likely that Kontact just does not display the
data, but it is still on disk. If that is the case, I think its possible to
get it to show the data.
Ciao,
