Leap 16.0 system upgrade experience 0001

Further changes:

  • I moved from AppArmor to SELinux by following this openSUSE Portal instruction: Portal:SELinux/Setup.
    No problems or issues – everything is functioning as expected …

  • The KDE KOrganizer To-Do View issue has been resolved as follows:
    Backed up all the local e-Mail, contacts, appointments and to-dos and journals and, the Akregator feeds.
    Removed all the configuration files, local data files and, the Akonadi directory.
    Started from (PIM) scratch – first restored the KOrganizer items, then the KAddressbook entries, the the Akregator feeds, and then restored the KMail configuration and local files.

The KOrganizer To-Do issue was resolved and, I now have a fresh KDE PIM environment.

  • I noticed that, the KDE Akonadi database is now using SQLite rather than MariaDB –
    There’s a mention of the move here: <KDE UserBase Wiki: Akonadi>

And, further down the page, this:

How do I switch from MySQL/PostgreSQL to SQLite?

Since Akonadi 6 akonadi-db-migrator is included in akonadi that allows you to switch the database backend. Where for previous versions this involved deleting and recreating the database a migration is now properly supported by akonadi.

Unfortunately, this migration doesn’t seem to be automated – it has to be manually executed.

Whether or not, I could have been spared the effort of a “delete/restore” upgrade of the KDE PIM is a moot point …

  • Never mind, I now have a “clean” KDE PIM environment.

No further progress on the AMD GPU issue – I haven’t yet purchased new hardware …
