Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

It seems your local config makes your mysql fail to start.
From the log:
Active: activating (auto-restart) (Result: exit-code) since lun 2017-01-16 09:40:22 CET; 6ms ago

That seems to be restarting a while and then fail.

A full (non ellipsized) output of "service mysql status" might be useful.

Not sure if that is related as the permissions can be set up in various ways, but the last mysql error log entry is:
2017-01-24T08:12:08.925093Z 3 [Note] Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

Since I can't reproduce I have to ask:
- Is this error showing up over and over again?
- Did you modify the mysql config or mysql logins in a way that this might cause the issue?

Thank you for your report.

This looks like a local configuration problem, rather than a bug in Ubuntu.

You can find pointers to get help for this sort of problem here: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community

Since we use this bug tracker to track bugs in Ubuntu, rather than configuration problems, I'm marking this bug as Invalid. This helps us to focus on fixing bugs in Ubuntu.

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.
