Can't even advertise myself as available for work till MySQL is working flawlessly! Thought I was flawless on my server but had to reboot this AM and BAM the plasma DT was gone. Now restoring! Got it down to 2 BASH script to restore KDE, but that is without MySQL and all development is in PHP with MySQL interactions!
Been downloading tar and deb files for MySQL from 5.5 to 8.0 so I can attempt gdebi installs, bypassing normal apt-get installs to see which version started the interdependancies on the Plasma/KDE desktop and which is therefore bad.

Yes, but if you're losing out on potential $250K projects, then perhaps you should really be paying a professional to sort this out for you. A professional, for example, would have advised you to make regular system backups/snapshots/images, particularly when everything was going smoothly, so that you could roll back to a previous working version of your system.
Upgrading to the latest versions of MySQL etc. on an old Kubuntu 14.04 system has the potential to be fraught with difficulties due to the dependencies involved, as you've found out. It would be more advisable to create virtual machines running more up-to-date distros which support the versions of MySQL that you want to use.
>:# mysql_secure_installation;
The program 'mysql_secure_installation' can be found in the following packages:
* mysql-server-5.5
* mariadb-server-5.5
* mysql-server-5.6
* percona-xtradb-cluster-server-5.5
Try: apt-get install <selected package>
>:# mysql_install_db;
Neither host 'hostname' nor 'localhost' could be looked up with
/usr/bin/resolveip
Please configure the 'hostname' command to return a correct
hostname.
If you want to solve this at a later stage, restart this script
with the --force option
Not sure what all this means or the next steps! At least the installs ran, but have not rebooted to see if it blew the plasma, but will now to test the plasma results!

those mysql repos aren't serving up any desktop conflicts.
Across the street that's a FrankenDebian. "Bypassing normal apt-get" (ubuntu's repos)
You're making penguins cry
Totally gave up on this as the MySQL upgrades completely destroyed both the MySQL and the XWin on all machines where an upgrade was initiated, so had to go back a re-install from the "Live DVD". Notice I also reported that none of the 16.04 LTS and 18.04 LTS "Live DVDs" work as after burn and attempt to install from the DVD drive all error and crap out in the middle of the install, and same trying on "brand new" machines.
Ubuntu/Kubuntu did not test anything since the release of 14.04, which is totally obvious!
Finally found a solution to the mysql install issues. Still not sure what is blowing it off, but forgeting all the wrong/erroneous HOWTOS, it's simply:
Code:
apt-get install mysql-server
The built-in mysql errors are in those extra packages that all the HOWTOS say you need to add!
Finally found the answer on this. The command for installing/re-installing MySQL, where all the problems start, is simply:
Code:
apt-get install mysql-server
All the HOWTOs on this have 2-12 additional things to install with this and all that is where the errors originate. I had to do a "LIVE_DVD" re-install after all this destroyed the KDE Desktop, but then lost the DB again, and found this simple cmd in "synaptic", so now reloading all my DBs and should soon be running at full capacity for this server.
