I have the same problem in Natty Ubuntu 11.04.
$ sudo service mysql start
start: Job failed to start
/etc/mysql/my.cnf file was missing, I created it, it is readable
("-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3770 /etc/mysql/my.cnf") but now "sudo service
mysql start" does nothing but wait. No error message, nothing happens:
$ sudo service mysql status
mysql start/running
mysql service doesn't start but I can run mysqld_safe.
110513 02:05:36 mysqld_safe Logging to syslog.
110513 02:05:36 mysqld_safe Starting mysqld daemon with databases from
/var/lib/mysql
110513 02:05:36 mysqld_safe mysqld from pid file
/var/lib/mysql/meuh-desktop.pid ended
I am not sure this a bug.
