Hello, yesterday's `apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade` broke mysql. I used to have the root account passwordless, but now this doesn't work anymore. mysql -u root is giving me
ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: NO) and on shutdown I get Stopping MySQL database server: mysqld/usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: NO)' ...failed You don't seem to have the right password in /root/.my.cnf Killing MySQL database server by signal: mysqld. This will prevent a clean system shutdown, too. Is there an new option, that prevents passwordless root accounts or has the interpretation of the host table recently changed?
