Serie - PIM: #KDE 1 - #Kontact
In diesem Beitrag geht es kurz um Kontact, eine Zusammenfassung der Komponenten von #KDE PIM.
Nachdem sich Ralf ordentlich und durchaus zurecht über die #PIM Suite von #KDE (Personal Information Manager) aufgeregt hat, möchte ich die Gelegenheit nutzen, und etwas Erklärungsarbeit zu leisten - und ein paar Tipps, die ich selbst immer wieder brauche und vergesse, zu notieren...

If anyone else is dealing with a #kontact, #korganizer, #NextCloud bug...
Delete all references to NextCloud from Kontact/Korganizer. Make one entry, test connection till it succedes. In the list of davs it finds, remove contacts (CardDav), save it. Now make a new one, same process except remove calendar (CalDav). You should end up with 2 nextcloud. This SEEMS to work, but I've only had this for a few minutes thus far. -

It is really fascinating to me how software categories/archetypes have changed over time, i. e. what 'type' of program is responsible for which function of a computer.
Nowadays it's a given that the following archetypes of programs exist as separate applications:
- Web browser for connecting to the WWW, displaying web content, downloading files (and using a metric ton of web applications of all kinds).
- File browser for navigating directories and doing file operations, as well as volume and storage device management for some reason.
- Mail client for sending and receiving e-mail as well as managing your mail contacts.
- Audio player for playing audio files.
- Separate music organiser for tagging and managing a music library.
- Calendar app for dates, appointments and reminders.
And so on and so forth.
I just keep being positively surprised and delighted when I discover systems, desktop environments and programs that subvert this structure.
Like, #Konqueror being file browser, web browser, FTP client, mail client, feed reader, image viewer and more in one!
Standalone download managers being a thing!
Search utilities for finding directories and files!
Or #KDE's excellent PIM suite (#Kontact) that unifies everything from a phonebook to a mail client to an RSS feed reader to a calendar!So many common programs actually come with extra features from when these program types still used to be different! Like #Thunderbird featuring a full calendar hardly anybody ever uses anymore. Anyone remember #SeaMonkey?!
Most recently – despite having known about it for ages – it dawned on me that shells like #zsh implement mail, calendars, to-do lists, appointments, contacts and much more! Check out
man zshcalsysif you don't believe me!It's so tempting to forgo everything and just live entirely in the console...

I am a long-term #KDEPIM user and recently read that due to progress in #SQLite’s performance #Akonadi is now defaulting to that DB on a fresh install.
A few days ago I took the chance and ran `akonadi-db-migrator --newengine sqlite` and it was both painless and I definitely see both lower resource consumption and the PIM suite seems much snappier too!

Ok... So... to "fix" #Kontact 25.x, go get the Akonadi, Kmail, etc folders from an old version (in .local and .config). It may work to run an outdated #Linux install, cause Kontact to make database files, and use those.
On the target machine, remove Kontact, MariaDB and Akonadi entirely. Copy the old databases where they go. Install Kontact. Reboot.I haven't yet put my passwords back to see it actually fetch, but it's open and displaying old mail.
I have no idea why the fuck this worked.

Sense is not being made today. Both my big laptop and my little laptop are running #Manjaro #Linux with #KDE and #Kontact. Big laptop is an old install that's been updated, little laptop was recently reformatted. Little laptop has Akonadi failures, big laptop works fine. I guess I'll have to sit and scruitinize what's different between them.

#NixOS on asennettu ja sen deklaratiivista paketinhallintaa opiskeltu sen verran, että saatiin perusasennukseen muutama tarpeellinen ohjelma lisää. (Ad hoc -paketinhallintaa osasinkin jo käyttää.) Pieniä ongelmia on edessä:
– asentamalla #Kontact'in saa tasan ja vain Kontactin eli tyhjän kehyksen, josta puuttuvat osaohjelmat; mitään tapaa asentaa järkevää kokonaisuutta en tiedä
– #Zsh:n asensin mutta miten saada se oletuskomentotulkiksi 1/2 #atkjuttuja #linux #floss -

Messing around with email clients as I do once in a while; I'm expecting Mozilla to start forcing AI slop into Thunderbird any day now. Hopefully I'm wrong.
Why can't Evolution or Kontact import Thunderbird settings? Seems like this would be an obvious feature.
(Kontact apparently needs one? or two? other programs to do any kind of import, and the Flatpak version doesn't include it/them, which seems like an oversight).

The @opensuse Leap 16 installer is a web browser. Think that‘s got some enterprise reasons, but it‘s really not what I like.
Installed #KDE to test #Kontact once again: As soon as I open the tasks sub-app it crashes…
Staying with #Evolution. It‘s slow, but it works.
Working and not slow: 2Do.app, BusyCal - on the Mac.
It‘s got reasons why people don‘t use Linux for work.
