When trying to install Infobright, no matter what I try, it says it can't use the mysql-user.
If I try it with the dpkg -i infobright-4.0.7-0-i686-ice.deb, the log contains the following problems:
11:48:16 Installing infobright 4.0.7-0 (i686)

11:48:19 =============ERROR=======================
11:48:19 Failed on infobright initialization. You can investigate /tmp/ib4.0.7-0-install.log and log files from /usr/local/infobright-4.0.7-i686/data.
11:48:19 At this stage the current installation may be broken. You need to uninstall it and
11:48:19 fix the cause before retrying the installation.
11:48:19 Possible reasons for the failure are: LDAP service is running or
11:48:19 system has unsupported glibc but nscd service is not running.
11:48:19 Possible work arounds are: If LDAP is running, you may stop LDAP service prior to the installation.
11:48:19 If you have unsupported glibc, you need to start nscd service prior to the installation.
11:48:19 =========================================
Unforunately, something similiar happens when I try to install it from the tarball - everytime, the error 140902 11:48:19 [ERROR] Fatal error: Can't change to run as user 'mysql' ; Please check that the user exists! appears and the installation can't be finished.
In Infobright startup error: Fatal error:, someone seems to have a similiar error but does not realy pose the question. Does anyone know, how to solve this problem?
Another, unrelated error seems to be http://blog.oneiroi.co.uk/linux/mysql/cant-change-to-run-as-user-mysql-please-check-that-the-user-exists/: Here, someone says I need to add the mysql-user. But I checked it, and the user exists an I am able to do something as this user. So unfortunately, I can't see any way to solve this problem.
