One is root@localhost, it has no password, but you need to be system 'root' user to connect. Use, for example, sudo mysql The second is rober@localhost, it has no password either, but you need to be the system 'rober' user to connect. After connecting you can set the password, if you would need to be able to connect as any of these users with a password and without sudo See the MariaDB Knowledgebase at https://mariadb.com/kb You can start the MariaDB daemon with: cd '/usr' ; /usr/bin/mysqld_safe --datadir='/home/rober/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/' You can test the MariaDB daemon with mysql-test-run.pl cd '/usr/mysql-test' ; perl mysql-test-run.pl Please report any problems at https://mariadb.org/jira The latest information about MariaDB is available at https://mariadb.org/.
