Also I'm trying to initiate the path from Chuck Short (post 15 above), but how do I do this? This is to confirm if his patch is OK an hence show that a regression has occured I've added the ppa to synaptic, but mysql doesn't come up in the list of available packages from that source? so I decided to download the file mysql-server-5.1_5.1.41-3ubuntu12.2_i386.deb then installed using gdebi, - which kindly tells me that there is a newer version in the repositories. then I try to start the service, and get the following... [code] sudo service mysql start start: Job failed to start [/code] I'm obviously doing something wrong. OK back to trying the other fixes....
