I finally got it to install by removing any previous configuration files that I had altered. Back them up first if you are nervous cd /etc/mysql sudo cp my.cnf my.cnf.april16 Sudo rm /etc/mysql/my.cnf
that may be enough to get it running. I also removed a the mysqld.cnf file under /etc/mysqld/mysqld.cnf After that, it reinstalled, and all is well. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1573624 Title: package mysql-server-5.7 5.7.11-0ubuntu6 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-5.7/+bug/1573624/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
