This is nothing to do with FreeRADIUS. You need to make sure your system 
isn't broken and the editor is working.

The list strips most images.

Debian/Ubuntu packages use "freeradius", not "radiusd" (as you used 
above). So it's `freeradius -X` instead.

Installing FreeRADIUS won't install MySQL, you need to do that yourself.

Installing the freeradius-mysql package will pull in the MySQL client 
libraries, but you'll still need to install the MySQL database somewhere 
(which may not even be on the same server).

Get FreeRADIUS working *without* MySQL first, though.
