Attempted to run mysqld as user.(http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-security-excerpt/5.6/en/changing-mysql-user.html) Got * Starting mysql ... * start-stop-daemon: caught an interrupt * start-stop-daemon: /usr/sbin/mysqld died [ !! ] * ERROR: mysql failed to start 2. Removed /var/lib/mysql 3. emerge --config =dev-db/mysql-5.1.70, to create new db 4. Reinstalled app-office/akonadi-server. Please advise, as my mail is all in there :(

How are you starting KDE? Are you running it through [k,g,x]dm or are you running it through startx as root?

I'm running it using startx as a regular user, which is why I'm befuddled too, as to why the socket etc poimts to root
Could you please test the proposed changes in bug #488332 ?
Carter, if this doesn't work for you, but you're using the >=nvidia-drivers-331.13, do a downgrade of it and retry after a reboot. In my case with similar akonadi trouble, it was the solution. Regards, Andy.
I'll try both of these tonight. I'm in the middle of an emerge -e system && emerge -e world after unmasking the ABI_X86 Flag for the new Wine...
(In reply to Johannes Huber from comment #5) > Could you please test the proposed changes in bug #488332 ? This fixed it, I'm too rusty with patch so I used kate, as in kdesudo kate, opened /usr/bin/startkde and edited by hand....
