Error message box
SUMMARY
When Kontact fails to start, an error message dialog box is shown (see
attachment). There are two bugs:
1st. The message reads (my translation) "A neccessary background service is not
availlable", but it does not tell WHICH one.
2nd. Clicking on the "Details..." button has no effect at all.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Provoke a state so that akonadi does not start. I guess removing
~/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/#innodb_redo (move it to another directory, so
you can restore it easily) could be a way to do that.
2. Start Kontact, which should fail intentionally.
3. The error message box like shown in the attachment should pop up.
OBSERVED RESULT
see above
EXPECTED RESULT
1. The error message should not only tell that /some/ background service
failed, but /which/ one (the name and also filename, which could be different),
so the user has an idea where to investigate. Even better, give a hint where
to find important related files like config, state, data files and most
importantly the error log.
2. The "Details" button should fire the action that was intended by the
developer. I guess it's s/th like above.
