Post subject: | Upgrade issue - MySQL root user has password |
I'm trying to upgrade an early version of LinHES - the box was built in June '09 and hasn't really been upgraded since, so it's probably a 6.00 version. I know how to use a bash prompt, and to not rm -rf /. myself, but I'm definitely a Windows person and not a Linux one, so I don't know administrative commands very well (e.g. I'm aware of modprobe but I don't know how to use it without specific instructions). Two things I need some help with: 1) At some point I switched over to the testing repository to pull down some software. Can someone confirm that I've properly restored my pacman.conf to the correct servers? Code: # # /etc/pacman.conf # from pacman.conf MV # NOTE: If you find a mirror that is geographically close to you, please # move it to the top of the server list, so pacman will choose it # first. # # To re-sort your mirror lists by ping/traceroute results, use the # /usr/bin/sortmirrors script. It requires the "netselect" package. # # See the pacman manpage for option directives # # GENERAL OPTIONS # [options] LogFile = /var/log/pacman.log NoUpgrade = etc/passwd etc/group etc/shadow etc/sudoers NoUpgrade = etc/fstab etc/raidtab etc/ld.so.conf NoUpgrade = etc/rc.conf etc/rc.local NoUpgrade = etc/modprobe.conf etc/modules.conf NoUpgrade = etc/lilo.conf boot/grub/menu.lst NoUpgrade = data/srv/hobbit/etc/bb-hosts NoUpgrade = etc/func/minion.conf HoldPkg = pacman glibc CacheDir = /data/var/cache/pacman/pkg #XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u # # REPOSITORIES # - can be defined here or included from another file # - pacman will search repositories in the order defined here. # - local/custom mirrors can be added here or in separate files # # #[core-testing] #Server = http://knoppmyth.net/repo/i686/core-testing #[extra-testing] #Server = http://knoppmyth.net/repo/i686/extra-testing ########################ARCH DEFAULTS############# [core] # Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first Server = http://knoppmyth.net/repo/i686/core #Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist [extra] # Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first Server = http://knoppmyth.net/repo/i686/extra #Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist [community] # Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first #Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist # Unstable is disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the following # two lines. You can add preferred servers immediately after the header, # and they will be used before the default mirrors. #[unstable] #Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist 2) When I attempt to install the upgrade scripts, this happens: Code: > pacman -Sy linhes-scripts

What I'm not sure is what approach I should take to fix it. Is it safe to clear the MySQL root user password, or will that break anything? And is it safe to force-install this package without running the scriptlet? I have a backup available if something goes wrong. |
