  1. When trying to install mysql, I got this message in opensuse when doing a ‘cnf mysql’: mariadb-client [ path: /usr/bin/mysql, repository: zypp (repo-oss) ]
    Is mysql replaced by this mariadb thing?

  2. Termine de instalar y despues, Cuando escribo
    mysql_secure_installation

    Me pide una contraseña… Cuál es ?

    Yo no le he ingresado ninguna

    Tengo el escritorio gnome

  3. I’m so pleased I located this page. I’m more pleased that you’ve taken your time to put this together. For me, you made a molehill of the Mountain I was having to climb to get mysql installed. Because you invested time (maybe a headache or two) I can do what I like which is not figuring out why openSUSE does’nt do this.

    You have a pleasant day,
    Peace Mate
