Not sure how I did it, but I succeeded in removing the password for root. I can now connect to the database. But if I try to change the root password of mysql using "sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.1", I get :
stop: Unknown instance: and another loop I can break with Ctrl+C. And the password is not changed. -- infinite loop in /etc/init/mysql.conf if mysqld is not running. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/551130 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to mysql-dfsg-5.1 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
