--- Comment #5 from Pedro de Carvalho Gomes <pedrogome...@gmail.com> --- Keep in mind that the command and parameters I write are mere suggestions. Everything is dependant on your local environment. Some hints about your last question: 1) it's probably fine to remove the "--defaults-file=/home/your_user/.local/share/amarok/my.cnf" option. I guess that it only contains an "[embedded]" session, which is not used by Mysql 8 2) if you don't have the ~/.my.cnf, you have to create it. I can't tell if this is sufficient, but should be. All this file does is to define a default connection to mysqlclient library (which is also used by "mysql" command) So, a good way to test if your connection to mysql server will work is to turn "mysql" without parameters. If your .my.cnf is correct, and your "mysqld" (server) is running, you should be able to connect -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
