I had to deal with this with Mandriva when I first moved to KDE4.4. This
usually means Akonadi can't find the mysql server. I ended up creating a
database for it on a remote mysql server, but you can also do this locally.
I believe mysql should've been installed as a dependency of Akonadi. You can
try starting mysql (at the command line 'service mysql start') and then
attempt running Akonadi again.
Also, Akonadi SHOULD give you a readout of why it cannot start if you go to
System Settings>Advanced>Akonadi Configuration>Akonadi Server Config tab, and
select either "Test" or "Start"
On a side note, I expected to have to deal with this myself, as I knew that
with 4.4, kmail has an attachment with Akonadi. But, mysteriously, I have NOT
had to deal with this...not really sure why. --**EDIT**-- Actually I've just
discovered that Akonadi is in fact running on my system. I did NOT configure
it, and it is mysql is running locally, so apparently this was all done
automatically.
I'd suggest you install mysql if it is not already, then try to start Akonadi
again.
