The following occurs when running the Live version of GnackTrack, if you
install from the LiveDVD this issue is no longer present.
LiveDVD can be downloaded from www.gnacktrack.co.uk - this can be used to
demonstrate issue but i think it's likely somethign simple

root@root:~# mysql
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
root@root:~# updatedb
root@root:~# locate mysqld.sock
/rofs/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
root@root:~#

Snip of /etc/mysql/my.cnf (shortened to show sock location.)

[mysqld]
user = mysql
socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
port = 3306
basedir = /usr
datadir = /var/lib/mysql
tmpdir = /tmp

Are there any work arounds for this? What could i do to ensure that mysql
can be connected to when running the LiveDVD?
