2023-03-11 Meeting

Open Discussion:

Today we talked about several things, including recent power outages and creating screenshots.  There were three we spent more time on:

  • fixing tables in mysql when the root account password is unknown.
              service mysql stop
              mysqld_safe --skip grant-tables
              mysql -u root mysql
              update user set password=PASSWORD('NewOne') where User='root';
              quit
              service mysql restart 

              mysqlcheck --autorepair -c -o -A --debuginfo
  • resources for recycling or obtaining computers and parts
