I've had similar problems. It seems to me that the default Akonadi options for MySQL include a table_cache parameter, but it's been deprecated since 5.1 and in 5.6 prevents a start of the database. Removing this options did the trick for me.
In MariaDB documentation there's a remark that "all versions of MariaDB are based on MySQL 5.1 and greater, thus the table_cache option is deprecated in favor of table_open_cache." -- 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.
