It appears /var/log/mysql/error.log was left out of 12.04's mysql default configuration. However, upstart should be logging the output of all jobs. So can you look at /var/log/upstart/mysql.log ?
Also anybody affected can try 'sudo /usr/sbin/mysqld' and paste that here.. it will likely give the reason mysqld failed to start. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1017258 Title: package mysql-server-5.5 5.5.24-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.5/+bug/1017258/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
