kde korganizer will not run

I recently updated my laptop from 11.3 to suse 12.2 and am trying to run kOrganizer which is part of KDE but I open the error message and the 2 main errors have to do with mySQL and akonadi … now I have all the same software and apps running fine on my Desktop computer …

  1. where do I find my error logs for akonadi and mysql
  2. can or should I delete them
    3 what should I edit
    4 how should I edit
    5 should any of these be running in root (as one of the error messages state)
    6 what else should I look for

Seems like your akonadi database got corrupted… (maybe a problem with the mysql upgrade, it is quite a big jump from 11.3 to 12.2!)

Please delete the folder /home/eric/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/ (well, better just rename it so you could restore it again if necessary), and try to start korganizer again.

Thank you for such a simple solution … it worked fine … renamed the file, rebooted, and restarted the program …
