You wrote in your reply to Andreev Sergei that it works with Konqueror.
Is that Konqueror from KDE4?

I'm thinking it is from KDE 3 by the way it looks. I need to see if I
can run the KDE 4 version, if there is one, and see what it looks like.

I would have been surprised if the KDE4 version of Konqueror worked, since it
shares most filemanagement code with Dolphin so it is unlikely they don't
share bugs (if it is one in the application).

What I think what's happening is that the root application attempts to connect
to D-Bus and the D-Bus code wants to check whether D-Bus is running. It
detects a running one through an X server property but then can't connect to
or cannot talk to it because it is running as a different user.

The command using dbus-launch works around that, not sure why it still doesn't
work though.

Might be some explicit check to avoid running end user applications as root
for security reasons, might be a bug.
I'd say if you have the time file a bug report against Dolphin (will most
likely be reassigned to whatever the developer thinks is most appropriate) and
tell us about the bug number.

In the mean time, once you've got that library version problem fixed, you
can try to switch back to the upstream default of starting an internal
server.

My SQL section of Akonadi config ( $HOME/.config/akonadi/akonadiserverrc)
looks like this:

[QMYSQL]
Name=akonadi
User=
Password=
Options="UNIX_SOCKET=/home/kevin/.local/share/akonadi/db_misc/mysql.socke
t" ServerPath=/usr/sbin/mysqld
StartServer=true

The last line makes it start its own, local, instance of MySQL, no system
wide setup required.

Cheers,
Kevin

While I was searching around for the error I keep getting, I found
someone that said they had to comment out a line in that config file.
So I went to diggin, I don't even have that file. The WHOLE directory
is empty. No files at all. This could be the issue. No config, no worky.

Strange, the test report in your first mail says this:

File content of '/home/dale/.config/akonadi/akonadiserverrc':

The file will be created (using the defaults inside the application) if it
doesn't exist when Akonadi server starts.
However, since akonadictl crashes, it might not get that far.

Still strange that your test report reports values from a file that isn't
there :)

Cheers,
Kevin
