problem for me seems to lie in mysql_upgrade, ie.

Aww darn... I have run into this issue as well on the Jaunty Jackalope. I'll post if I find anything useful in the future.

Can we get someone to at least set the importance, as MySQL does not work, so I'd guess it'd be a blocking level bug?
| Niels Egberts (nielsegberts) wrote : | #7 |
Agreed, amarok depends on mysql so that one also does not want to work.
| jyio (inportb) wrote : | #8 |
Ah, right. I guess I'll try to get Amarok to use SQLite in the interim, but I heard it's slow...

Dinxter: did you upgrade from mysql-dfsg-5.0?
Others: you're probably running into the issue reported in bug 316849.

i didnt have 5.0 installed but had tables left over from that version when installing 5.1. i'm not sure what 5.0 version the tables were from though, i think it was probably the one on intrepid release. when 5.1 didnt complete postinst properly i tried purging 5.1, installing jaunty's 5.0 and upgrading to 5.1 but this didnt help. my post above was from this stage. i ended up purging the old tables and reinstalling 5.1 with no problems. i havent managed to recreate the problem installing 5.0 from jaunty, creating a few tables and upgrading to 5.1
cant seem to recreate the problem by upgrading from intrepid mysql-server-

@Mathias: thanks, bug 316849 was the one for me. Now at least it's working.

Hi,
I had the same problems when installing Mysql-server-5.1 and had to uncomment the line to skip-bdb.
Now to upgrade, I was getting the same errors as people in this thread.
The current problem was fixed for me doing the following:
sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql-server-5.1
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo rm -rf /etc/mysql
sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.1
At this point Mysql will complain that it can't read /etc/mysql/my.cnf but this is triggered because it no longer installs the configuration file named as my.cnf but as debian.cnf (Would this need be reported as another bug?)
After it complains do:
sudo cp -a /etc/mysql/
Now once again:
sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.1
This corrected everything for me and now I have mysql installed and working.

Broken again for me with mysql-server-5.1 version 5.1.30-2ubuntu4; fails upong trying to start the service. It was okay in the version before this by following directions as per bug 316849, so that's not the case anymore.

By the way, starting "mysqld" by hand via console, brings up the following error:
090128 22:23:38 [ERROR] Can't find messagefile '/usr/share/
In fact, that file is now in '/usr/share/

This is a setting set in /etc/mysql/my.cnf. You should be able to update
the language option in the file to point to
/usr/share/

The fix is to remove the language option in /etc/mysq/my.cnf. The file is part of of mysql-common from the mysql-dfsg-5.0 source package.

The problem seems to be caused by some permission issue on mysql binary log files. After the upgrade mysql failed to start. Trying to start mysql service manually (service start mysql) also failed with following error:

in /var/lib/mysql directory these two files have root permission instead of mysql.

After running "chown mysql:mysql /var/lib/mysql/*" I can start mysql manually running "service start mysql" and it works. But if I trigger dpkg to configure the failed packages mysql-server and mysql-server-5.1 same error occurs and permissions of last created bin files are set to "root" user again.

Hi All,
I was wondering if a fix for this bug has been released? The status indicates that a fix has been released. But I'm not sure how to get it. I'm experiencing the same problem that @ekinsokmen reported. Any advice on how to get the fix would be greatly appreciated!

This just worked for me on a 64-bit Ubuntu 11.10 Desktop machine, when in Kernel.log and the syslog having:
init: mysql main process (15527) terminated with status 1
init: mysql main process ended, respawning
init: mysql post-start process (15528) terminated with status 1
Another symptom is that the mysqld keeps disappearing an reappearing among the processes in in the system monitor.
I guess that is the same that is stated in the files above.
If you decide to try workaround, make sure to make a backup of db-files.
Workaround:
>sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql-server-5.1
>sudo apt-get autoremove
>sudo rm -rf /etc/mysql
>sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.1
I also choose to set a new root password for mysql.
Then I also did:
>sudo apt-get install mysql-admin
Well... This got the server running and Admin GUI to work for me.
I was able to log in as root.
Now lets see if I get the backup-ed data into mysql again ;)
