Issue

What were you trying to do that didn't work? The mysql_install_db command consistently fails. The command is executed right after mariadb-server is installed. ``` $ sudo mysql_install_db --basedir=/usr --datadir=/var/lib/mysql --user=mysql Installing MariaDB/MySQL system tables in '/var/lib/mysql' ... Installation of system tables failed!  Examine the logs in /var/log/mariadb/mariadb.log or /var/lib/mysql for more information. The problem could be conflicting information in an external my.cnf files. You can ignore these by doing: shell> /bin/mysql_install_db --defaults-file=~/.my.cnf You can also try to start the mariadbd daemon with: shell> /usr/libexec/mariadbd --skip-grant-tables --general-log & and use the command line tool /usr/bin/mariadb to connect to the mysql database and look at the grant tables: shell> /usr/bin/mariadb -u root mysql MariaDB> show tables; Try '/usr/libexec/mariadbd --help' if you have problems with paths.  Using --general-log gives you a log in /var/lib/mysql that may be helpful. The latest information about mysql_install_db is available at https://mariadb.com/kb/en/installing-system-tables-mysql_install_db You can find the latest source at https://downloads.mariadb.org and the maria-discuss email list at https://launchpad.net/~maria-discuss Please check all of the above before submitting a bug report at https://mariadb.org/jira ``` The command fails because provider_lz4.so can't be loaded. ``` $ sudo cat /var/log/mariadb/mariadb.log 2024-02-15  1:04:14 0 [ERROR] mariadbd: Can't open shared library '/usr/provider_lz4.so' (errno: 2, cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) 2024-02-15  1:04:14 0 [ERROR] Couldn't load plugins from 'provider_lz4.so'. 2024-02-15  1:04:14 0 [ERROR] /usr/libexec/mariadbd: unknown variable 'provider_lz4=force_plus_permanent' 2024-02-15  1:04:14 0 [ERROR] Aborting ``` The direct trigger was `/etc/my.cnf.d/provider_lz4.cnf` added in the latest mariadb-server package, and the command succeeds if I remove that file. The problem is not seen if mariadb:10.11 module is disabled. The known version without this problem is 10.5.22-1 .
