This guess of an error should be fixed.

Well, in the meantime I have a running database, thanks to all the help I get here.

But I'm not quite out of trouble yet.

The last problem with starting /usr/local/mariadb-10.6.10-linux-systemd-x86_64/bin/mariadbd was solved by chmod 777 /var/run/mysql; this was needed because I start mariadb as a plain user for the moment. chmod on /var/log/msql gave me logging, too.

All temporarily of course, it should be reverted to it's default state once everything runs normally.
But for now, I have a running database.

Alas, after stopping it with ctrl-\, I tried systemctl start mariadb.service (in the meantime the Thumbleweed version of mariadb is at 10.9.x)
But with no luck. It lasted a while, then came with

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.

Once again I'm at a loss here - what causes mysqld not to start?

Any further help dearly appreciated....
