MySQL install attempt
Posted by ronin42 on Thu 8 Mar 2007 at 12:00
I attempted to apt-get install MySQL and it installed openbsd-inetd which broke my XOrg Nvidia setup. I was definitely not happy as I put in a lot of time and effort to get X working under Debian Etch.
I piddled around for the last two days and finally dpkg --remove openbsd-inetd which removed bacula and other items.
I then attempted to do a re-install in "The Debian way" to get X back but that was a bit frustrating. I kept getting errors telling me the Nvidia-Kernel-Sources were not on the system. I finally re-ran the Nvidia-Linux-1.0-9746-pkg1.run program and it rebuilt Xorg. Less fuss this time around then last.
Nice to have it back.
I'll be doing more research in trying to get MySQL running on this box as a server.

This sounds pretty frustrating. What makes you say that installing openbsd-inetd broke your X.org setup? That sounds like an odd interaction. It would be worth filing this as a bug if you can track down the misbehavior.

Just anecdotal evidence. Once I installed it all errors pointed to openbsd-inetd not starting. I began to troubleshoot areas I felt were the culprit at first and re-ran the Nvidia driver install. Once I removed openbsd, and many other applications were removed with it, I re-ran the driver installer and had no problem. I haven't narrowed down what else was installed when I installed MySQL through apt-get.
My Parallels also stopped working.
None of the configuration files for X.Org and Parallels were damaged. Once I got them running again everything picked up right where I left off.
I'm working on making an image of my installation so I can experiment again but be able to restore without the guess work.
