What are /r/mariadb's favorite Products & Services?

I'm still having luck with the new version of the online repo generator:

https://mariadb.org/download/?t=repo-config

The only issue for me is that the Jaleco.com East Coast mirror is having an error, however the main mirror at osuosl.org seems to be working just fine. Once I changed the mirror address in all of my apt/sources.list.d/ files for MariaDB, updating resumed and there were no more Release file problems.

That might be caused by the fresh refill of (innodb-)buffer from disk and by the setting innodb_io_capacity. In my case latter setting was too high for a HDD-RAID.

Hi /u/boomertsfx

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, things were a little hectic at home this past week.

I went and looked at the logs as you suggested, and I see this.

Could this have anything to do with my setting a root password? When I first install mariadb, the root did not have a password set.

Hi. Thanks for choosing MariaDB. Sorry to hear you where having trouble, and there's a point at which 9 year old Stack Overflow articles written for Ubuntu-12.04 have limited value.

When you say you deleted the database, can I assume you did rm -rf /var/lib/mysql while MySQL server was stopped? Did you remove the MySQL server package (sudo apt remove mysql-server) after this?

By you reference to Digital Ocean I assume you:

sudo apt install mariadb-server

To get your installation. Depending on your Ubuntu Server version you will get a different MariaDB Version. Hopefully that provides the version supported by your domain provider. A later version is possible with MariaDB sourced packages that are available for supported Ubuntu versions. But for the moment lest focus on getting a MariaDB running before you consider a new version.

The "cannot connect to MYSQL server" error is that the service isn't started. Assuming systemctl start mariadb.service doesn't rectify the problem, showing the exact systemctl status mariadb.service and journalctl -n 30 -u mariadb.service will provide the necessary information to help you further. Also tell us which Ubuntu and MariaDB version you are using.

There were also a bunch of stable releases on the same day: https://mariadb.org/mariadb-10-4-13-10-3-23-10-2-32-10-1-45-and-5-5-68-now-available/

So it is! I'd convinced myself it was a seal because i can't see any ears on it, but this page repeatedly calls it a sea lion.

So does anyone know what the MariaDB Sea Lion's name is??
