Was that the end of the output? No shutdown message from InnoDB, like this?

If there was no output like that, you should remove any line that says
"skip_locking" or "skip-locking" from the configuration file and
retry.

Yes, that was indeed the end of the output.

The skip-locking statement was not in /etc/my.cnf, but inmy.cnf in my home dir. Commented it out and now this complaint disappeared.

But now I get

(again no further output).

/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock odoes not exeist, and "pgrep mariadbd", "pgrep mysql" and "pgrep mysqld" show nothing, so no serer is running anymore.

ss -a | grep 3306 or
ss -a | grep /var/run/mysql

also gives nothing, so it seems there are no processes using that port.

We're getting closer it seems, but not quite there yet...
