Hi All,
I am new to linux, and trying to install mysql.
I am SSHing to the remote machine and using zypper.
The trouble is that zypper gets hanged and I really see further activity.
I am using openSuse 12.3
linux-amvn:~ # zypper install mysql mysql-community-server-client mysql-community-server

I have left is all night and it was still Resolving.
Restarted the machine, still no luck…
how can I get some further information, as to what is happening, or which log files to check.
is there another alternative way to install mysql?
or is there any other repository I can try?
Thanks

But you already had mysql installed. The “mariadb” is one of the
possible mysql versions available.
Why zypper hanged, I do not know. There are logs (all logs are under
“/var/log/” somewhere).

hi Robin,
I need to install the Oracle mysql, the more standard one.
Is there a way to do it in this situation?

Well, then, as I said, you have to look at the logs. Start with
“/var/log/YaST2/y2log”.

Hi,
There was nothing coming in the logs.
I checked the kernel version of the machine where it was working(3.7.10-1.28-desktop) and then the kernel version where it was not working(3.7.10-1.10-desktop).
Updated the system, which updated the kernel version to (3.7.10-1.32-desktop), rebooted the system, run the command again:
zypper install mysql mysql-community-server-client mysql-community-server mysql-workbench
Everything worked fine

3.7.10-1.10, you say? I can’t locate that one in the update repo, but
3.7.10-1.11 is dated May 2013, so you have been a long time without
updating.
