ok,

there is a bug with special character, thanks for reports, i will correct this for the next release

thank you

I'll assign a Medium importance to this bug, and since the maintainer has enough information, I'll also put it as Triaged. Thank you for reporting this!

antiono, I checked the code, but i don't understand how do you have enter a password with '#', I have tested but I can't reproduce this.
But, it's possible in obm user and database name, and this can crash installation.
--> I wil fix that, i'm working on.

And I have a question about your installation, and what do you want
You had install mysql-server and obm at the same time, and you want use the password that you enter on mysql-server installation?
When you install mysql-server the password during installation is password of mysql root user, so i don't understand.

Do you can explain more?

I don't understand antonio installation and i can reproduce exactly this bug, but an an other bug, i have open new bug report: #312514

I don't understand antonio installation and i ---can't--- reproduce exactly this bug, but an an other bug, i have open new bug report: #312514

This problem happens if you use sudo apt-get install obm
If you log in as root the problem goes away
