Debian Stretch switched from MySQL to [MariaDB](https://mariadb.org/). All packages with `mysql` in the name are just wrappers around the MariaDB ones, with some containing some compatibility symlinks. Huginn should also work fine with the MariaDB packages directly, although to keep the installation instructions more compact, they still use the MySQL packages.

+#### Set password for root MySQL user on Ubuntu
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+MySQL installations (>= version 5.7.26) on Ubuntu use the UNIX `auth_socket` plugin by default, such that authentication is handled by system user credientials. In order to access the MySQL root user from any system user, you have to set the MySQL root user password in user database. Sign into the MySQL shell
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ sudo mysql -u root -p
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Once in the MySQL shell, run the following command to set the password for the root user by replacing `new-password` with a password of your choice
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'root-pass';
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+After the change has been made, exit the MySQL shell with `\q`.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+For the change to propogate, restart the MySQL server
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ sudo service mysql restart
