I just upgraded from Ubuntu 14.10 to Ubuntu 15.04. Upon logging in, I found that I no longer have the KDE Plasma desktop available. Then, when trying to open Kontact, I get the following error message: "The Akonadi personal information management service is not operational." Below is the report. Please advise what steps I can take; I rely quite heavily on data in Kontact, which at this time I am unable to access easily. Akonadi Server Self-Test Report =============================== Test 1: SUCCESS -------- Database driver found. Details: The QtSQL driver 'QMYSQL' is required by your current Akonadi server configuration and was found on your system.

Make sure you have the MySQL server installed, set the correct path and ensure you have the necessary read and execution rights on the server executable. The server executable is typically called 'mysqld'; its location varies depending on the distribution. Test 4: SUCCESS -------- MySQL server is executable.
