Public bug reported: Binary package hint: mysql-server-5.0
Currently mysql-server has no password for mysql root user and it requires to set this password manually from CLI. This is confusing for most newbie users. Mysql-server package should have gui that could set password for mysql-server root user during installation and after installation with dpkg-reconfigure. ** Affects: mysql-dfsg-5.0 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- mysql-server package should allow to set root password during installation https://launchpad.net/bugs/69661 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
