This fails for me as I cannot connect to mysql as user or unix root. I'm don't know which users are enabled for the akonadi embedded mysql as opposed to the system one (not in fact installed on this machine) mysql_upgrade --socket ~/.local/share/akonadi/socket-hostname/mysql.socket Looking for 'mysql' as: mysql Looking for 'mysqlcheck' as: mysqlcheck Error: Failed while fetching Server version! Could be due to unauthorized access. FATAL ERROR: Upgrade failed Any suggestions?
