9 p.m.
I've been using Linuxen, mainly Fedora, for many years so am familiar
with Nix command line.
Recently I was provided a new Apple Macbook Pro to be used to develop
specific apps for the App store.
Following a tutorial on computersnyou.com which seems most
comprehensive, installed mysql which worked fine then on Sunday night
upgraded to the new Yosemite OS, mysql died.
I downloaded the .dmg again and reinstalled following the above, hoping
to correct it's config files but now mysql-5.6.20-osx10.8-x86_64 is very
difficult to start.
/usr/local/mysql is in the PATH.
Error is: ERROR 2002 Can't connect to local MYSQL through socket
'/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
From installation instructions I did ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock
/private/var/mysql/mysql.sock which is no help.
I removed the link and reinstated. Checked that mysql.sock exists.
/usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server start starts mysql but I
cannot get it to start on boot.
I thought to completely remove mysql and it's dependencies then install
from scratch but there seems to be no way that I can find to delete
mysql file system. I miss yum. Fortunately I can use my old faithful
Linux desktop, Ahh! Home safe.
I searched for local/Vic Apple User group similar to this LUV forum to
ask, with no luck.
AUSOM seems to be a PC Usergroup with some Apple events.
Can someone please advise what's wrong and how to fix, hopefully without
reinstalling. And if there is an apple forum similar to LUV or
Community for Fedora Users
Thanks in advance

Don't know what an LUV is, but in any case this seems very specific to
Yosemite, which has nothing to do with Linux (MacOS is based on BSD). I
suggest you look for Yosemite-specific help on the Apple forums.

Isn't LUV a mispelled LUG?

LUV (Linux Users Victoria) is a historical term goes
back about 3
years. Apologies for confusion.

Back in the day (late 70's), we had a "VCC". Clever reuse of the
nomenclature for the primary voltage supply to a chip, but in this case
it meant "Valley Computer Club". This was when we used to wire-wrap our
own circuit boards and the Zilog Z80 was brand-spankin' new!
"Geeze! It runs at 4 MHz? And you have 32K of static RAM? Wow!"
Ah, memories!

Thank you Ted but unfortunately does not discuss how to delete file
systems or correct the situation.
thanks anyway.

I still have the Imsai, Altair, Poly88, Cromemco, Sol20, Vector88 and a
bunch of other very weird stuff (Tarbell ACI, ASR33 teletype, OpLabs
paper tape reader, etc., etc.)

Stupid assumption on my part but the v and the g are neighbors. :)

Say, does anyone of you hoard... er, I mean archivists have any DEC
equipment with a 8 inch RX01 or RX02 floppy drive (or equivalent) ??
if so, I've got a few RT-11 SSSD floppies I'd like to have imaged, if
you feel like helping out a fellow hoarder. lemme know.

The thing I love about this Linux group is the camaraderie, those of us
who come from historical times on the same page. I think I've got my
dad's old ultra modern TRS80 somewhere.
Gotta LUV it.

You guys have kept the old hardware. I only have the tee shirt--I wrote
a short article for the magazine of The Big Board (can't remember the name of
the mag) telling how to improve the video bandwidth, and they sent me a
tan-color tee-shirt with "Author" in big letters on it. The only old computer
I sort of wish I still had was the Atari, but I guess it would seem awfully
crude by today's standards. Especially the video. It was my first color
computer but it sure didn't have a lot of pixels!
Enough reminiscing.
