Public bug reported: System: Kubuntu 18.04 LTS
What happened: A few days ago, `apt-get dist-upgrade` upgraded from mysql-5.7 to mariadb-10.1. This seemed to evoke a bug similar something to https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=873081, KMail started to misbehave and `akonadictl restart` failed: ... /usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/akonadi-USER.Psvx2y/mysql.socket' (2 "No such file or directory")' Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/tmp/akonadi-USER.Psvx2y/mysql.socket' exists! ... I could not get Akonadi to work again. Workaround: Replacing mariadb by mysql again worked for me: `apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client`, but I am not sure if there are any unintended side effects. ** Affects: akonadi (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1808186 Title: Switch from MySQL to mariadb caused akonadi to fail To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/akonadi/+bug/1808186/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
