@Robert, forget it, Linux Mint uses the DEB packages provided by Ubuntu, and
these are currently configured by default to only allow mysql/mariadb root
account access from a process that is already running as root using a unix
socket authentication plugin. This is a security "feature" of the DEB packages
provided by those distros.

I am closing this report as NOTOURBUG.
Both Sylvain and Duns need to learn to configure their mariadb/mysql server
with the relevant authentication plugin for each user and assign them a
corresponding password, and then try and connect from LO with a supported
password authentication mechanism before filing a report here.
This bugzilla isn't the place for general exchanges on configuring
mysql/mariab, and only muddles any real issue that might be present.</pre>
