the computer says that both packages are already installed but the joomla instalation still says: Could not connect to the database. Connector returned number: Unable to connect to the Database: Could not connect to MySQL.

Install the package mysql-server and also make sure you have the package php5-mysql installed.

it is asking me for a database so I figure mysql but it isn't installed.
No problem.... I'll apt-get it. Apt-get install mysql<tab tab> gives a
lot of download candidates though. Which should I install? I'm thinking
mysql-server but there is also  ...server-5.5 and ...server-core-5.5.
Here are the candidates:
$ sudo apt-get install mysql
mysql-client           mysql-mmm-tools        mysql-testsuite
mysql-client-5.5       mysql-proxy            mysql-testsuite-5.5
mysql-client-core-5.5  mysql-server           mysqltuner
mysql-common           mysql-server-5.5       mysql-utilities
mysql-mmm-agent        mysql-server-core-5.5  mysql-workbench
mysql-mmm-common       mysql-source-5.5       mysql-workbench-data
mysql-mmm-monitor      mysqltcl

            I'm at pre instalation checklist now. One of the issues I
            have with this
            section is that my outpu buffering is set to on and they
            recommend off.
            I think I am going to leave it as it stands now but wanted
            to get advise.


        I believe that setting is optional, so you should be safe
        leaving it along as it won't really matter for a personal site.


            The other issue is configuration.php Writeable. After
            googling a little
            I figured I bette make it writable and so did.


        Yup, you have to make it writable so that it can create and
        modify the config.  Later once you have everything set like you
        like it, you can safely set it to read only and that can help
        with security.
