Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

Since it seems likely to me that this is a local configuration problem, rather than a bug in Ubuntu, I'm marking this bug as Incomplete.

If indeed this is a local configuration problem, you can find pointers to get help for this sort of problem here: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community

Or if you believe that this is really a bug, then you may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem, explain why you believe this is a bug in Ubuntu rather than a problem specific to your system, and then change the bug status back to New.

[lhuszar (lesliehuszar)]

Sorry, but if I would be that good to let you know why I believe it is a
bug I probably would fix it.
Nevertheless I studied it and it was reported by others on the Internet
which means very little I agree.
However it occured on three of my ubuntu machines and it is not likely to
be hardware dependent.

I feel that you made an incomplete conclusion that is not really helpful to
the community.

Since the bug report is generated/ sent automatically ( most or part of it
)
 Ubuntu could design their bug reporting so that you receive the
information you need.

Thanks for your reply

To continue the prior email I solved the problem to move to a different
package on both ubuntu and mysql.
