[SOLVED] Akonadi fills CPU after installing LM KDE 14 64bit

[Zalbor]

It's basically in the title.

I've been using the 32bit edition for a while now, and decided to give the 64bit edition a try. It was fine when using the live DVD session, but when I log into the installed system, the CPU usage just flies up to 100% on all cores and the system freezes within moments.

I'm using an Asus M55S, the CPU is an Intel Core i7-2670 QM at 2.2 GHz.

Like I said, the live session worked perfectly and windows works on 64bit so my CPU definitely supports it. Any ideas?

I managed to open a terminal and run top. The processes causing the problem seem to be Akonadi.

Using this new info, I found this bug report: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=265896

Removing ~/.config/akonadi fixed the problem.

Can you please detail how to remove this "Akonadi" file? Thanks.

The easiest way to do it is via terminal. If you can open one (program's name on KDE: Konsole) then typing

Code: Select all

rm -r ~/.config/akonadi

should do the trick.

The way via file manager would be to open one, go to your home folder, make sure hidden files are visible (there should be a checkbox in the wrench or cog (I forget which) menu), go in the .config directory and delete the one named akonadi.
