Kayode, thanks for the updates. The hard innodb crash that you pasted in comment #4 is particularly concerning.
You may want to try backing up your system, and doing *** THIS STEP WILL DELETE ALL OF YOUR DATA FILES *** apt-get purge mysql-server-5.1 apt-get install mysql-server-5.1 And then restore the data only (if you haven't changed anything, /var/lib/mysql) from the backup. That will at least restore the binaries and make sure its not a library/binary corruption problem. If you still get a crash like that, then we should look at filing a bug with MySQL. They may request a copy of your data files to help reproduce the problem. Once you've reinstalled mysql-server-5.1 and restored the data, restart mysql and then check /var/log/mysql/error.log to see if it started normally. -- package mysql-server-5.1 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/617678 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
