I find systemd loses track of starting mariadb-server-10.0 because /etc/mysql/debian-start fails because 'root'@'localhost' needs to have a password set for legacy code. There used to be a `debian-sys-maint' user and /etc/mysql/debian.cnf could be changed to run as that user instead of root, but that user no longer exists.
Grabbing an existing user@host combination and mandating the access method used is a bit of a cheek. A new user can't clash; can we have debian-sys-maint back? I ended up leaving user as root in /etc/mysql/debian.cnf and putting the needed password in there. Then /etc/mysql/debian-start succeeds and `systemctl status mysql' correctly tracks it's "active (running)". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1445549 Title: systemctl start mysql.service starts mariadb but reports failure To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mariadb-10.0/+bug/1445549/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
