mysql installation failed
« on: March 10, 2008, 01:32:20 pm »
Hello,

I tried to install linux mce from the CD's but I have a problem with mysql.
First I had problems because of lack of room on my / partition.
At the end I created a ln -s for /tmp and /var/lib/mysql
I saw that the installer was claiming about a dependencies about mysql-server and mysql-server-5.0
I then tried with apt-get -f install
It says :
Construction de l'arbre des dépendances
Lecture des informations d'état... Fait
0 mis à jour, 0 nouvellement installés, 0 à enlever et 16 non mis à jour.
1 partiellement installés ou enlevés.
Il est nécessaire de prendre 0o dans les archives.
Après dépaquetage, 0o d'espace disque supplémentaires seront utilisés.
Paramétrage de mysql-server-5.0 (5.0.45-1ubuntu3) ...
 * Stopping MySQL database server mysqld   [ok]


and it hangs there.
The only way to get out is ctrl-c
This is what I get after ctrl-c

dpkg : erreur de traitement de mysql-server-5.0 (--configure) :
 sous-processus post-installation script tué par le signal (Interruption)
Des erreurs ont été rencontrées pendant l'exécution :
 mysql-server-5.0
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

And I can't find more info in the apt log file

any idea ?

thanks,

sp

at least 10 GB and far more if you are willing to record and watch tv and else

10G is barely enough for a core only, I'd say at least 20 for a hybrid, more like 30 if you plan on hooking up diskless MDs
