[TriLUG] Bacula director install problem

Hi Matt,
After removing the MySQL root password temporarily,
bacula-director-mysql installed and created the proper tables.  Bacula
still had problems starting, but seemed to come around after we
installed the bacula meta package, gnome console, and wx console.

I'm not sure which package perked it up, but it seems to be running now.

Thanks for the advice.

Regards,
Mark.
