Yes of course - see below. But the mariadb service actually starts on
boot.
akonadi doesn't start at all until I run KMail, at which point it
presumably
connects to the already running mariadb/mysqldb. I have to do that
because I
need to have Bacula running long before I get out of bed and use KMail
;-).
Of course. :-)

That shows that there are two mysql instances as it should be.
One is started by akonadi and the other by the system (user mysql).
That is ok and this is how it should be.
As I thought, akonadi is using its own mysql config file and its own
datadir. This is ok.
Could send the output of this command:
mysql -u root -e "show databases; show variables where
variable_name='datadir' or variable_name='socket';"
This will output all your databases and in addition, it will
output the datadir and the socket your mysql is using.
This will help us to determine that you are indeed not
using akonadi instance.
If everything is ok you would just need to enter the correct
database credentials into the bacula-dir.conf and there should
be no problems.
Instead of dbaddress you would just need to specify dbsocket.
If you don't specify dbsocket, bacula will use the default
mysql socket which might nor might not be the correct path
for your mysql instance (depending on the mysql setup).
