Re: mariadb problem

From MariaDB wiki:

Install mariadb, and run the following command before starting the mariadb.service:

# mariadb-install-db --user=mysql --basedir=/usr --datadir=/var/lib/mysql

Did you do that? Because searching for could not open mysql.plugin table... I found this. The problem of the page is for MySql, but I think you can adapt it to mariadb, just delete all under /var/lib/mysql and run the above command before enabling/starting the service.
