Just reinstalled all of these apps, updated them with dnf in the terminal, and removed (actually renamed) the /.local/share/akonadi/ , /.local/share/akonadi_migration_agent/ , and /.config/akonadi/ folders. Still the same problem.
Per "A required background service is not operational" - Akonadi/Kontact/KMail , the fix for me was removing “knotes” and “akonadi-notes” (sudo dnf remove knotes akonadi-notes). From there, I killed all akonadi processes and then ran akonadictl restart - simply running akonadictl stop or restart did not work, because of the weird state akonadi was in; you have to kill the pids for the processes that are running (or just reboot). After that Kontact started working fine for me.
Hope that helps!
Hi, I have the same issue, but I don’t have knotes or akonadi-notes installed, so I can’t remove it? I have tried killing all akonadi processes from system monitor and restarted my PC. I’m also having the same issue on an atomic distro as well.
