Public bug reported: During Ubuntu upgrade from 18.04 to 20.04 phpmyadmin and mysql 8 failed after I failed to provide some password I guess. At the end of the upgrade it reported upgrade failure saying it will revert but did not.
After restart I had no login box, but after powering it off using the laptop button the login box was there. After login, mysql does not work and I got this error without accessing phpmyadmin. More, ALT + TAB does not work anymore :) $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Release: 20.04 $ apt-cache policy phpmyadmin phpmyadmin: Installed: 4:4.9.5+dfsg1-2 Candidate: 4:4.9.5+dfsg1-2 Version table: *** 4:4.9.5+dfsg1-2 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/universe amd64 Packages 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/universe i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status $ apt-cache policy mysql N: Unable to locate package mysql $ mysql ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) I expected to have no issues after upgrade. I have upgraded Ubuntu (18 to 20) on another computer with a similar setup, but no phpmyadmin installed, and had no issues, everything went well. Thank you!
