mySQL crashed and won't start

Hello,

Yes that is exactly what I was thinking, the main difference between Ubuntu and Debian is mySQL vs MariaDB …

Regarding upcoming V7, from a mail sent IIRC by Joe, I understand that Ubuntu’s mySQL will be replaced by MariaDB on a fresh install, but what about existing installs ? if I have a U20 with mySQL and V6, some have been recently updated to V7 and kept mySQL … mySQL will be replaced only if I run the install again (which I wouldn’t do of course) ?
