I know this isn’t a Framework hardware issue but I can’t post in askfedora, so please someone help me. I had followed a tutorial on installing LEMP stack, but it had me install MariaDB instead of MySQL. So I tried dnf removing it and installing MySQL but i keep getting gpg error when I do dnf update.
I tried downloading the rpm and installing that way, and it’s not working but I don’t know why. Can someone please help me? Is there a way to undo what I’ve done so I can just start over? So frustrated.
For questions that are clearly Fedora, the fedora reddit might be a good (better even?) alternative forum.
Searching for mysql there led me to this post, which (in addition to repeating the point that mariadb has for many users subsumed OG MySQL) also points to community-mysql in the regular Fedora repos, so it should be a more “go with the flow” way to install it instead of adding a new repository.
Command line:
$ dnf list community-mysql*

Is this ok [y/N]:
Ok, so I got to the point where I could not install either of them, and tried looking at those posts but they didn’t help. I learned about a nifty tool sudo dnf history --reverse and sudo dnf history rollback {number to rollback to} Now I SHOULD be able to start over like I never installed anything. I guess I’ll try again wtih mariaDB.
@Melanie_Carr also post the history of commands you used or the turtorial you followed, that would also help narrow down the issue. Also while instralling some things form the software center is okay others don’t work so well, i.e. services you might be trying to run such as mysql, apache, nginx, postgresql etc. these are often better served by installing it in a terminal as Software Center essentially hides what it is doing. While this is something you might be used to with MacOS this is not the best way to do things in Linux.
