As far as I can see this bug is not Confirmed - switching back to 'New' and marking as importance 'Medium' as we seem to see this issue alot.

[James Page (james-page)]

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

Please could you attach output from the following commands to this bug report:

  sudo ps -aef | grep mysqld
  sudo initctl list

and the following log files:

  /var/log/mysql/*.log

Please could you also try to restart mysql-server to see if this issue re-occurs.

Marking this bug as 'Incomplete' pending your response of the above.

Thanks
