MYSQL Plugin '0' is not loaded on every reboot

dima23

Thu Apr 09, 2020 10:29:03 am

Hello everyone. I have the latest stable version of Zorin OS 15.2, with updated apt packages.
I've installed mysql-server from official repositories but I'm getting annoyed Plugin '0' is not loaded on every reboot of the machine.
The temporary workaround is to start MySQL in safe mode with the command:
Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop; sudo mkdir -p /var/run/mysqld; sudo chown mysql /var/run/mysqld; sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &

Thus, now I'm able to login into mysql shell and try to do something. This is the corrupted result of mysql database:
Code:
mysql> SELECT user,authentication_string,plugin,host FROM mysql.user;
+------+-----------------------+--------+-----------+
| user | authentication_string | plugin | host      |
+------+-----------------------+--------+-----------+
| root |                       |        | localhost |
| root |                       |        | 127.0.0.1 |
| root |                       |        | ::1       |
| pma  |                       |        | localhost |
+------+-----------------------+--------+-----------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)


The output should be similar to:
Code:
+------------------+-------------------------------------------+-----------------------+-----------+
| user             | authentication_string                     | plugin                | host      |
+------------------+-------------------------------------------+-----------------------+-----------+
| root             | *3636DACC8616D997782ADD0839F92C1571D6D78F | mysql_native_password | localhost |
| mysql.session    | *THISISNOTAVALIDPASSWORDTHATCANBEUSEDHERE | mysql_native_password | localhost |
| mysql.sys        | *THISISNOTAVALIDPASSWORDTHATCANBEUSEDHERE | mysql_native_password | localhost |
| debian-sys-maint | *CC744277A401A7D25BE1CA89AFF17BF607F876FF | mysql_native_password | localhost |
+------------------+-------------------------------------------+-----------------------+-----------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)


I need this machine for local development and with such problems, I'll not stay with Zorin for a long time...

Yesterday I've completely removed mysql-server and PHPMyAdmin and reinstalled them, my output was like second until I shut down my laptop and booted it again. What the heck?! I don't have such problems with Fedora (I know these are completely different distros) but I also didn't have such problems on any Ubuntu-based distro...

I'm facing 9 year old bug?
https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=60432
If database manager accidentally (or deliberately) modifies mysql.user table by adding any column in position lower (or equal) than "max_user_connections", then after reloading privileges no one is allowed to log in.


My steps to try fix the issue:
1. Logged in mysql safe mode
2. Updated all users' passwords
3. Flushed privileges
4. Shutdown safe mode
5. Started mysql server in normal mode

Issue persists

Any suggestion how I can eliminate this issue?

There is a mySql bug apparently?:

@Swarfendor437,
Thanks for the reply.
Before posting here I was googling about 2 days.
As I wrote, running mysql in safe mode is a temporary workaround and I don't want to change mysql into safe mode on every boot, it's not convenient.
Also, how 9-year-old bug can't be fixed nowadays? Does nobody care?

Now the system has soft rebooted itself with no warning, just has shown Manufacturer logo for a few seconds and went lock screen. After entering my password all programs were closed. Eeem, what the hell?! I was working... This is an awful experience.

This is happening second or third time already...

OK, following the bugs I noticed is touchpad problem but this is kernel specific, if you don't mind I'll post fedora discussion link where I've described my problem as precisely as I could, otherwise remove it...

Hi, do you have this package installed?:

Touchpad2.jpg


xserver-xorg-input-s [1.9.1-1ubuntu1~18.04.1 - Synaptics Touchpad driver for X.Org server - there is an earlier package numbered 1.9.0-1ubuntu 1 too.

Another option might be to roll back the kernel?:

No, xserver-xorg-input-synaptics wasn't installed. After installing I now remember why I hate this package :D It totally destroys touchpad experience, for example: If I'm actively using touchpad while browsing I've one finger placed on the left-click area and scrolling with two other fingers, this isn't working, instead, if one finger is placed anywhere, not mandatory on the left-click area scrolling will work only with another one finger. Also, the right-click button is not working. OK, everywhere on the internet, everyone is suggesting to go to gnome tweaks and switch touchpad mode from finger to area. After this, right-click button is working as expected, but this brakes two-finger scrolling, WTF??? Touchpad experience on Linux is a nightmare. I don't have such problems with libinput, but it's not working with kernel 5.x. So yeah, the best alternative in this situation is to roll back to 4.x kernel.

Still, I think I'll go away from Zorin because I can't solve the original "Plugin '0' is not loaded" problem.

It may not help you much if you did as Zorin is an Ubuntu derivative.
You could end up with the same trouble on the next O.S. you try.

Yes, I mentioned this in my first post, in case you missed it...

And I'm going back to Fedora, as it's not Debian/Ubuntu derivative.

I really like Zorin's UI, how it reimagines the awful Gnome UI and auto light/night theme changing and many other aspects but as my machine is working not home & entertainment, I need maximum stability & security.
This plugin 0 and random soft reboots is a major problem for me, not counting touchpad issue, which is not related to Zorin, but the Linux kernel and it will follow me on every Linux 5.x distribution...

@Swarfendor437,
With activated Synaptics package, while charging my laptop the touchpad froze again like it was with libinput.

Fedora is good. And your response is entirely reasonable- and yes, I did miss that in the O.P. I've been running a bit ragged, lately.
I don't get paid to post on the board and you did not buy Ultimate. My point was not to "keep a customer" as much as in- If we can help you resolve the issue, it helps us all. It helps find another solution to a problem we all did not know about and can solve again; it helps improve the O.S. a bit at a time and it helps you.

For me, on my own machines, Zorin has been, By FAR, the most stable. However, I must admit that I use mostly Zorin Lite and I avoid Gnome Desktop like Plague. When I did use Zorin with Gnome, I did get some instability. So I may be biased in my view as Zorin being stable since it really is Zorin Lite that shines this brightly.

Hi, your choice of Fedora is a good choice as an alternative. I might get round to installing Fedora 31 Workstation as it is the only OS where 'Simple Scan' (renamed Document Scanner in both Fedora 31 Workstation and Ubuntu 19.10 - but only Fedora's picks up my scanner in my Canon All-in-One TS8151. ;) :D

I completely agree with your response. You don't have to waste your time resolving this issue. All this is volunteer work and as you've already mentioned it'll help the entire OS ecosystem.
Maybe soft reboots are caused by Gnome, I don't know. But this Plugin 0 not loaded error confuses me because as I was installing mysql-server on other Ubuntu derivates and haven't faced such problems.

Actually I'm coming from Fedora)) which is still installed on my HDD. And I've to admit that avoiding Gnome there I'm using it with Cinnamon, which for me seems like an old-school UI, I want some fresh look :D and Zorin runs on SSD, looks like this. I have no doubts that Zorin is the stable system but because of the aforementioned problems in the OP, I can't stay until it's fixed. I'll definitely return sometime in future.

Hmmm, that's interesting. I wasn't thinking about it because Zorin Core on Gnome already provides polished UI.
I'll give it a try next time.
