Comment #11 solved the problem for me, too. I ran into the bug performing the following steps:
1. I upgraded Kubuntu from 14.10 to 15.04 using `sudo do-release-upgrade`. 2. I rebooted using `sudo reboot now` instead of using the K menu due to a bug that prevented me from rebooting via menu. According to the attached excerpt of mysql.err, mysqld was shutdown properly. 3. After rebooting, the crash appeared. ** Attachment added: "mysql.err" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.6/+bug/1437846/+attachment/4383086/+files/mysql.err -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to akonadi in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1437846 Title: akonadi mysql 5.6 crash with signal 11 Status in akonadi package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in mysql-5.6 package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Vivid changed mysql version recently to 5.6.
