[Bug 551130] Re: infinite loop in /etc/init/mysql.conf if mysqld is not running.

2010-05-27 Thread StephanNies
Please note that the cause of the problem is that /etc/init/mysql.conf
is trying to start mysqld as user root. If you start as user mysql
everything works fine.

The infinte loop described above in

 while ! /usr/bin/mysqladmin --defaults-file=$HOME/debian.cnf ping
do
sleep 1
done

is caused by mysqld  not running and therefore  /usr/bin/mysqladmin 
--defaults-file=$HOME/debian.cnf ping
failing.
With no proper timeout this causes an infinte loop.


So you have to apply the following 2 fixes to /etc/init/mysql.conf:

1) to make msqld work:

exec sudo -u mysql /usr/sbin/mysqld  # - important execute as use
mysql


2) to make sure the loop times out:

   count=0
   while [ $count -lt 10 ]  ! /usr/bin/mysqladmin  
--defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf ping 2/dev/null
   do
   echo waiting for mysqld: ${count}s ...
   sleep 1
   count=`expr $count + 1`
   done

   if [ $count -eq 10 ]
   then
   echo timeout.
   else
   exec $HOME/debian-start
   fi

2009-10-30 Thread StephanNies
VERY DANGEROUS OVERWRITES MBR WITHOUT WARNING !!

I installed Karmic Koala Ubunutu 9.10 from the live CD icon on a MACBOOK PRO 
13.
I choose to install on and 8GB SD card (sdb) and used manual partion to set 
up sda1 as an ext3
mounted as /.
Everything went fine until the very end when ubiguity said installing GRUB on 
hd(0,0) 
(which would be sda the harddrive) wihtout any question.

When i rebooted i could not reboot into OSX. I had to pulls some undocumented 
OSX
rescue tricks to get my OSX back working. This should never have happend grub 
should
have been installed on sdb or i schould have been asked.
