Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

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

Looks like you may have some sort of apparmor issue as well - please could you attach the output from the following commands to this bug report:

  ls -l /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/*

You could also try re-installing apparmor using the following command which *may* help resolve this issue:

  sudo apt-get install --reinstall apparmor

Thanks
