+Fixing dev MySql on Ubuntu 20.04
+--------------------------------
+
+For some reason, the MySql default install on 20.04 gave me a bunch of trouble.
+
+In retrospect, I _think_ this is because 'root@localhost' requires sudo to access, but if this
+gives any trouble in the future, here's how I got around it (two full hours of distraction!)
+
+
+```
+sudo apt-get install mysql-server
+
+# But for some reason the default password doesn't work and diesel/sqlx can't connect?
+
+# Kill everything
+
+sudo apt purge mysql-server mysql-client mysql-common
+sudo apt autoremove
+sudo mv -iv /var/lib/mysql /var/tmp/mysql-backup
+sudo rm -rf /var/lib/mysql*
+
+sudo /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation
+
+# still no work...
+
+sudo systemctl stop mysql.service
+
+# ugh, it wasn't chowned or created (both states observed in different installs)…
+sudo mkdir -p /var/run/mysqld
+sudo chown mysql:mysql /var/run/mysqld
+
+sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables --skip-networking &
+
+mysql -u root
+
+flush privileges;
+USE mysql;
+ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'root';
+
+sudo killall -u mysql
+sudo systemctl restart mysql.service
+
+# now it works
+sudo mysql -u root -p
+
+# but now I have to use "sudo" !?!?
+
+CREATE USER 'storyteller'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
+GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON storyteller.* TO 'storyteller'@'localhost';
