Public bug reported:
The mysqld.cnf file includes a commented out line for log_slow_queries
= /var/log/mysql/mysql-slow.log
As it turns out, log_slow_queries was deprecated long ago and it now
causes MySQL 5.7 to fail to start/restart if it exists. The current
variable/option is slow_query_log_file. By including this deprecated
variable/option, users are going to get failures to restart that are not
even printed to the MySQL log file. I did not find ANY log of what
happened, only that MySQL failed to start. I believe this justifies
updating mysqld.cnf with the current option so other users don't go
through the frustration that I just experienced.
For me, this is running on a clean install of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with the
default xenial package install for mysql (which is 5.7). I installed it
via "apt-get install".
