Hi Tim,

It seems you haven't initialized the system tables like explained here: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mysql_install_db/

Hello list,
I have installed and re-installed MariaDB trying to get prelude to work and I'm at a loss.
When I try to run 'sudo systemctl start mariadb.service' I get these errors:
Job for mariadb.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status mariadb.service" and "journalctl -xeu mariadb.service" for details.
so I read the KB and found I'm supposed to use 'sudo systemctl status mariadb.socket'
which gives this:
mariadb.socket - MariaDB 10.6.11 database server (socket activation)
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/mariadb.socket; static)
Active: active (listening) since Thu 2022-12-29 18:39:25 CST; 26s ago
Until: Thu 2022-12-29 18:39:25 CST; 26s ago
Triggers: mariadb.service
Docs: man:mariadbd(8)
https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/systemd/

/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock (Stream)
[::]:3306 (Stream)
Tasks: 0 (limit: 8190)
Memory: 4.0K
CPU: 2ms
CGroup: /system.slice/mariadb.socket

and then if I try to run 'sudo mysqlcheck -A' I'll get this error: 
mysqlcheck: Got error: 2013: Lost connection to server at 'handshake: reading initial communication packet', system error: 104 when trying to connect

I then check the status of the socket and get this output: 
sudo systemctl status mariadb.socket
× mariadb.socket - MariaDB 10.6.11 database server (socket activation)
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/mariadb.socket; static)

I then ran 'sudo journalctl -n 20 -u mariadb.service' (as per the kb) and get:
Dec 29 19:12:45 DebianTim mariadbd[3660996]: 2022-12-29 19:12:45 0 [Note] /usr/sbin/mariadbd (server 10.6.11-MariaDB-1) starting as process 3660996 ...

I then found this in my logs:

So, how do I get this to work?
I even tried the apparmor suggestion from the KB and it didn't work, I even tried stopping apparmor service completely and still couldn't get it to work. 
I'm using Debian testing (Bookworm) with Kernel version 6.0.0-6-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.0.12-1 (2022-12-09) x86_64 GNU/Linux
and MariaDB 10.6.11 from the Debian repository. 

Thanks in advance for any help.
