On a testing system a similar problem happens. A) During the boot sequence mysql starts apparently without errors. ps -e | grep mysql show a safe_mysqld and mysqld process as expected.
B) If you access mysql client program then an error similar to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ mysql ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) C) If you stop mysql server with tatarana:~$ /etc/init.d/mysql stop Stopping MySQL database server: mysqld. another ps -e | grep mysql shows that the processes did not die. D) If you send kill signals, mysql processes exit. ps -e | grep mysql shows nothing E) If you then start mysql /etc/init.d/mysql start server start correctly which can be tested by F) tatarana:/home/mfeitosa# /etc/init.d/mysql start Starting MySQL database server: mysqld. Checking for corrupt, not cleanly closed and upgrade needing tables.. tatarana:/home/mfeitosa# mysql Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 7 Server version: 5.0.41-Debian_1-log Debian etch distribution Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer. mysql> G) It would be nice if /etc/init.d/mysql stop was more informative H) This problem DOES NOT AFFECT a similar debian testing system but running slightly older version of mysql package I) QUARTO system DOES NOT HAVE BUG quarto:~# dpkg -l | grep mysql libmysqlclient15off 5.0.38-1 mysql database client library mysql-client-5.0 5.0.38-1 mysql database client binaries mysql-common 5.0.38-1 mysql database common files mysql-navigator 1.4.2-8 GUI client program for MySQL mysql-query-browser 1.2.5beta-3 Official GUI tool to query MySQL mysql-query-browser-common 1.2.5beta-3 Architecture independent files for mysql-server 5.0.38-1 mysql database server mysql-server-5.0 5.0.38-1 mysql database server binaries ...clipped...

H) No framebuffer is used at boot I) I do not know how to further test this situation - any pointers will be helpfull so I can generate more feedback J) Will look into mysqlmanager - K) Seems Nicolas identified the problem but as he was using - 5.0.32 and my 5.0.38 system does not have the bug then we might have diferent reasons for having the same problem Thanks, Miguel Feitosa -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
