mariadb on ceres

Mariadb-server-10.6 will not install during "apt-get upgrade'" on ceres.  When I tried looking for bug reports on the devuan bug tracking system it says the package does not exist, nor apparently any of the mariadb packages.  I thought that mariadb used systemd on debian, so there should be devuan specific packages.
I have not had this update problem on debian-sid.
I am baffled.

Re: mariadb on ceres

Not ours. (There's no "devuan" in the version.) So you won't find it in our bug system. Check debian bug reports.

The package still contains an init script, so it can use systemd or sysvinit.

What exactly happened? Did you lose the package upgrading to ceres from daedalus, or on a regular upgrade in ceres, or the package just refuses to install. Did you get any error messages?

Re: mariadb on ceres

I can't reproduce the error. I'm running daedalus, installed mariadb-server, then installed the version from ceres. So I upgraded from 1:10.6.8-1 to 1:10.6.9-1 without error. The service got stopped and started successfully.

I don't know what else to do. Maybe someone running ceres would get a different result.

Well, maybe dpkg --configure -a or dpkg-reconfigure mariadb-server-10.6

Re: mariadb on ceres

I tried them both, but neither helps.  I've been poking around /var/log files and /usr/share/doc/mariadb-server-10.6, but I can't figure anything out.

The interesting part looks to be:

invoke-rc.d: initscript mariadb, action "start" failed.

What happens if you invoke the start script manually? Does that produce any interesting messages?

Was mariadb running OK before the upgrade (or is this a new install)?

If it's a new install do you need to do any first time setup steps?

Re: mariadb on ceres

I went into /etc/init.d - entered sudo ./mariadb start and got:

Starting MariaDB database server: mariadbd . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . failed!

Not interesting.

Everything was fine before the upgrade.

It is an old system running on a QEMU virtual machine.
I have a parallel debian-sid vm, and the upgrade there went fine.

Re: mariadb on ceres

Hi mknoop,
Have you run 'mysql_secure_installation' before trying to launch the service?
Mariadb works flawlessly on my Devuan Daedalus machines.

Re: mariadb on ceres

Here is what happened:

sudo mysql_secure_installation

NOTE: RUNNING ALL PARTS OF THIS SCRIPT IS RECOMMENDED FOR ALL MariaDB
      SERVERS IN PRODUCTION USE!  PLEASE READ EACH STEP CAREFULLY!

In order to log into MariaDB to secure it, we'll need the current
password for the root user. If you've just installed MariaDB, and
haven't set the root password yet, you should just press enter here.

Enter current password for root (enter for none):
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local server through socket '/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
Enter current password for root (enter for none):

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local server through socket '/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
Enter current password for root (enter for none):
Aborting!

Cleaning up...

I tried typing the root password, and I tried just hitting enter.  I got the same resuilt,.

Re: mariadb on ceres

Just an idea: sudo is not always the same as root.
I suggest to do a
su -
That switches your shell to the root account. Then try to change to the script directory and run it (as root user)
After the (hopefully) successful installation you just leave the root shell
Ctrl-D
And your shell will be back to your user again.
Good luck.

Re: mariadb on ceres

I was not sure which script you were referring to, so I tried it on both "./mariad start" and "mysql_secure_installation".

No difference from using sudo.

Re: mariadb on ceres

Does /var/lib/mysql/aria_log_control exist?
Would mysqld be able to write to it? Post output from stat '/var/lib/mysql/aria_log_control' if you are not sure.
Would mysqld be able to write to /var/lib/mysql/ ?

I'm just guessing what to look at, I don't run mariadb myself.

Re: mariadb on ceres

These log entries look very similar to an issue I had at the beginning of the year.

What fixed it for me was removing (actually, renaming, in case it was needed later; it wasn't) the file /var/lib/mysql/ib_logfile0

cd /var/lib/mysql
mv ib_logfile0 ib_logfile0.bad-renamed
service mariadb start

Re: mariadb on ceres

That's it!

I did that and tried to start mariadb.  That worked, so I did another apt-get upgrade.  The server finished installing, stopped, and then started again succesfully.

Thank you very much, rbit.

I do not know how to interpret this.

That says the file is owned by mysql, has group mysql and can be read and written by user mysql and any user in group mysql. Which all looks OK to me.

The last 4 lines of output say when it was last accessed (ie read), modified (written to), had it's directory entry changed and when it was first created.

Unfortunately the man page for stat is not very clear. But running it against a few files with known characteristics it's fairly easy to work out what it means.

As I said I don't run mariadb, so I was just guessing from the first error message in the log extract. So kudos to rbit.

Re: mariadb on ceres

This forum thread is not that old, yet, so I thought I would add to it.  I too had this same exact problem and it kept showing up "sometimes" when I had to reboot or restart the mysql service.  I finally found what I "think" is a solution.  I was having to delete the /var/lib/mysql/ib_logfile0 file to get mysql (mariadb-server) to start.  I have been using this for a few weeks on more than one server and have not had any problems, yet.  Also, my problem was showing up on chimaera, not ceres.

Steps involved:
- Stop mysql service before editing the file below
- In /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/50-server.cnf file, add this (toward the bottom)

Under this line:

[mariadb]

Add this content:

innodb_fast_shutdown = 0

I hope this helps.
