Disregard. Creating the file in /etc/systemd/system/mariadb.service.d/ works fine.
On Ubuntu you must mkdir -p first, since /etc/systemd/system does not exist If anyone else stumbles across this annoying issue: mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/mariadb.service.d cat > /etc/systemd/system/mariadb.service.d/dontprotecthome.conf << EOL [Service] ProtectHome=false EOL systemctl daemon-reload systemctl restart mariadb That's what I get for googling how to disable ProtectHome in Ubuntu. First answer was to modify a system file that is overwritten when the package is updated. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1902744 Title: MariaDB Update changes ProtectHome option, breaking MySQL To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mariadb-10.1/+bug/1902744/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
