Can we get any details about how the crash happens? Does MySQL print anything while crashing?
Is it possible to reproduce the crash manually? (by taking the tarball and running certain commands?) I've tried to reproduce but was not successful -- MariaDB: mysql_install_db causes server segfault https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/452116 You received this bug notification because you are a member of OurDelta- developers, which is the registrant for OurDelta. Status in Maria: Confirmed Status in OurDelta - Builds for MySQL,MariaDB: Confirmed Bug description: I've tried installing MariaDB from http://master.ourdelta.org/deb/dists/jaunty/mariadb-ourdelta/ on Ubuntu 9.04 amd64. I got HTTP 404 errors on the first attempt, but not on the second. The package asked me to change root password several times during the installation. In all cases, I've just hit 'enter' as an indication that I do not want to change it. As a result, I got this: Setting up mariadb-server-core-5.1 (5.1.38-ourdelta81) ...

I had to edit /etc/my.cnf and put there 'skip-grant-tables' so that I could log in. After logging in, I can see that mysql.user table is empty. It looks like installer script wasn't successful in adding the debian-stys-maint user? _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ourdelta-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ourdelta-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
