can't connect to mysql virtual server unless I rm /etc/udev/rules.d/*

Like the subject hints at I can't ping or mysql my mysql server unless I delete the file in rules.d/ and then reboot. I'm guessing this is related to the fact that the virtual disk is located on my SD card and I use it in multiple computers. I'm just not familiar enough with the inner workings of udev to figure out a more permanent solution. I've tried /etc/rc.d/rc.udev force-restart, but that doesn't help.

Once I delete the contents of rules.d/ and reboot, everything works fine. But I'd rather just have to boot up my virtual slack once. (I'm using VirtualBox.)

Can you post the rules that are in there before you delete them? And do you get any errors with mysql or other logs?

Here's the logs/files.

The best I can think of is that it expects the same mac address, but then breaks when it isn't the same one.

If you want to connect to MySQL/MariaDB server via network, you need to edit /etc/rc.d/rc.mysqld

Code:

# To allow outside connections to the database comment out the next line.

# If you don't need incoming network connections, then leave the line

# uncommented to improve system security.

#SKIP="--skip-networking"

That line doesn't exist in my.cnf. And I can connect to it, it's just that I have to delete the contents of /etc/udev/rules.d/ and reboot then wait a minute or two.

It's not just mysql. I can't ping it either, unless I do the above steps. It may be that that's just what I'm going to have to do.

Since the MAC address is constantly changing, you might be able to replace that with a wildcard... however, I don't know how well this would work on a system with multiple NICs.

Code:

SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="*", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"
