FWIW I also notice that /etc/mysql/debian.cnf contains "socket = /mysqld.sock" instead of "socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock" and after many hours attempting to get the package installed I seem to have it running but I cannot gain root access even though I have reset the root password a dozen times in a few different ways.
/etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/mysqld.cnf has a "user = mysql" setting which I think is needed to initially install the tables because doing so manually results in some root owned files/dirs (like /var/lib/mysql/mysql) but then that mysql user setting seems to disrupt further operations unless there are specific grant entries for that user and there is no hint of any attempt to setup a mysql user in the install scripts. I'd go "back" to mysql 5.6 but it uses a huge amount of ram by default, over 400Mb RSS compared to about 100Mb RSS for mariadb 10 and mysql 5.5. For me the only immediate solutions is to drop back to utopic and hope the mariadb 10 packages get fixed asap. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1429725 Title: package mariadb-server-10.0 10.0.16-2~exp1~ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mariadb-10.0/+bug/1429725/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
