Hi all,
I have a media server at home, with a mysql installed, My xbmc clients all connect to that server, and yesterday it suddenly crashed when I removed a video from my library.
Since then, I was no longer able to restart mysql with the notice that the startup job failed.
Looking at the logs, it seems that it starts, gets terminated with a status 1, and attempts to restart, until it complains that it restarted to much.
So, after some googling, I removed mysql from my system (commands I executed:)
After which I searched the system for any mysql folders, and deleted them.
Next step, I attempted to reinstall mysql-server, and that "works" as it prompts me for a admin password, which I supply, it confirms, and then it complains that it was unable to set the password, and the install crashes.
I can trigger the prompt again by typing "dpkg --configure -a" but it always results in the same issue...
Can anyone help me resolve this, please... I've wasted to much time on this as it is.
And I've had this problem before (last week) and my solution then was a re-install of the complete system.
Lets say I don't want to do that again...
