I woke up this morning and found I was experiencing this issue on 9.04 (final, standard desktop version). I also saw two instances of mysql_safe with one eating all the CPU. I installed mytop but didn't see anything happening, and /etc/init.d/mysql restart did not help. Both mysql.log and mysql.err were empty files.
The only mysql database on this box is for Amarok 1.4, and amarok was not running at the time. Last night the problem was definitely not occurring, and I hadn't logged into this system for a couple days prior to that (the box was restarted on Sunday). The commands I performed last night were: an apt-get update apt-get upgrade apt-get install prelink prelink -amR I just went through y dpkg.log, and mysql was updated last night, so I'm willing to bet the bug was somehow triggered by that process. -- mysqd_safe high cpu usage https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/105457 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
