=MySQL on Debian=

Debian does not have MySQL in its repositories...  :(

We can solve this!

Check the [https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/repo/apt/ MySQL download page] for current version...

If you're happy with '''8.0.27''', go ahead, download & install.
* <code>wget <nowiki>https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql-apt-config_0.8.20-1_all.deb</nowiki></code>
* <code>sudo apt install ./mysql-apt-config_0.8.20-1_all.deb</code>

It may ask about distro version.  On LMDE 4 or SparkyLinux 5, Select '''"debian buster"''' (It won't ask on Debian...)

Select '''"Ok"'''

Select '''"Ok"'''

Some versions will also ask about <u>Configuring mysql-community-server</u>
*Pick a good '''root''' password...
*I tend to select '''Use Legacy Authentication Method''' because '''Use Strong Password Encryption''' is annoying as hell.  (Your choice here...)

Update & Upgrade everything now...
* <code>sudo apt update</code>
* <code>sudo apt upgrade</code>

Now you can go ahead & pretend they haven't dropped MySQL from the Debian repos...

=VIM (& fixing it on Debian)=
(as installed on Debian) has mouse weirdness.  Selecting text with the mouse automatically enters '''visual mode'''.  This prevents useful things like using the mouse to copy/paste while editing in the terminal.  ('''Visual Mode''' is stupid...)

====Solution====
Either enter:

*''<code>:set mouse-=a</code>''

during an editing session, or even better, put it (without the leading colon) in your <code>~/.vimrc</code> file.  (create the <code>.vimrc</code> file if it's not already there...)

*<code>vim ~/.vimrc</code>
 <code>set mouse-=a</code>

If you tend to use vim via sudo a lot... (duh... Who doesn't?)

*<code>sudo vim ~root/.vimrc</code>

Sadly, this seems to turn off the colour syntax hilighting.

But!

add

 <code>syntax on</code>

to the '''.vimrc''' files & it's back.
