I've installed Matlab on my Ubuntu 18.04. Every time I want to open it I need to call it.
/usr/local/MATLAB/R2017a/bin/matlab
I think it is too long and waste of a little time. There has to be an easier way to open it. How can I open it simply by writing its name or is there any easier way?
/var/run should be unwritable for unprivileged users means that root and sudo accounts (as these are privileged users) are allowed to write to it.
The upstart script for MySQL is started as root and then is allowed to create a file or directory in /var/run. And this file is created with the permission as set in the configuration. This should be /etc/my.cnf and it will have something like this:
[mysqld]
user = mysql
socket = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
You should have something related to mysql in /etc/init.d After I installed MySQL Server I get this:
Are you sure you did not install the MySQL Client?
I solved this after many many attempts over several months with rest in between. From login screen I went to TTY1 and logged in as sudoer. Then I could not install ecryptfs-utils for a long time which turned out to be caused probably by Ubuntu not supporting Wily anymore. So I went to /etc/apt/sources.list and changed all instances of the word wily to xenial and after that I could reinstall ecryptfs-utils. Maybe it's one of those things that shouldn't work but actually did.
