comes back with: sudo dpkg --configure --pending Setting up mythtv-database (0.20-0.2ubuntu2) ... Failed to connect to database: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) at -e line 5, <> line 1. Failed to create database (incorrect admin username/password?) If you supplied incorrect information, try: dpkg-reconfigure --force mythtv-database dpkg: error processing mythtv-database (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: mythtv-database
if I do dpkg-reconfigure --force mythtv-database, then it gives me the choice to set up mythtv again - except I do not know the details because even after I installed it, it refused to run. Any ideas, and possibly a point in the right direction to installing mysql from source? thanks, Farran On Sat, 2007-11-17 at 20:35 +0000, Neil Greenwood wrote: > Hi Farran, > > On 17/11/2007, Robert McWilliam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Sat, 17 Nov 2007 17:43:05 +0000 > > Farran Lee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > ok... here you go, if it helps: > > > > > > dpkg -s kdelibs-data > > > Package: kdelibs-data > > > Status: install ok installed > > > > Doesn't look like dpkg is trying to do anything with kdelibs-data then. > > Looking pack at the error messages I have a new theory.
