Mariadb SQL service times out on Linux Mint (Ubuntu 18.04) (tricia)

Yep, lots of different opinions on this one problem, and it has happened a lot of times. something MSSQL would never do - yet MariaDB 10 does on Linux mint (Ubuntu 18.04) (tricia) and this worked.

(base) andyf@MTN-SYS:~$ Job for mariadb.service failed because a timeout was exceeded.
See "systemctl status mariadb.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
[1]+ Exit 1 systemctl start mariadb

 

sudo ln -s /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld /etc/apparmor.d/disable/
