This just worked for me on a 64-bit Ubuntu 11.10 Desktop machine, when in Kernel.log and the syslog having:
init: mysql main process (15527) terminated with status 1 init: mysql main process ended, respawning init: mysql post-start process (15528) terminated with status 1 Another symptom is that the mysqld keeps disappearing an reappearing among the processes in in the system monitor. I guess that is the same that is stated in the files above. If you decide to try workaround, make sure to make a backup of db-files. Workaround: >sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql-server-5.1 >sudo apt-get autoremove >sudo rm -rf /etc/mysql >sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.1 I also choose to set a new root password for mysql. Then I also did: >sudo apt-get install mysql-admin Well... This got the server running and Admin GUI to work for me. I was able to log in as root. Now lets see if I get the backup-ed data into mysql again ;) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/316974 Title: Mysql dead after update To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-dfsg-5.0/+bug/316974/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
