Re: Authentication plugin choice not display when install 8.0

[Lars Tangvald]

Hi,

That's pretty odd. I can't seem to reproduce this error. Maybe it's using a debconf frontend I'm not familiar with. Could you post screenshots of both the password screen and the empty screen?

Also, as a workaround you can try disabling the debconf frontend by using the following command to install:

sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt install mysql-server

This will install in noninteractive mode.

Note that this will set up the root account with no password, but unix socket authentication (so you will need to log in with

sudo mysql

), and the recommended password encryption.
