README urpmi says: NOTE: MariaDB is installed without root password, it is recommended to set the root password with the following command as soon as possible: mysqladmin password But the command is not accepted: Mysqld is running: $ mysqladmin password New password: Confirm new password: mysqladmin: You cannot use 'password' command as mysqld runs with grant tables disabled (was started with --skip-grant-tables). Use: "mysqladmin flush-privileges password '*'" instead mysqld is stopped: $ mysqladmin password mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2 "No such file or directory")' Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' exists!

Why not typing this command while mysqld is running instead? mysqladmin flush-privileges password '*' You should then be able to run mysqladmin password
This message is a reminder that Mageia 6 is end of life. Mageia stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Mageia 6. At that time this bug will be closed as OLD (EOL). Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version prior to Mageia 6's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we cannot be able to fix it before Mageia 6 was end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. -- Mageia Bugsquad
