Public bug reported: Binary package hint: mysql-server
2.6.24-19-server #1 SMP Wed Aug 20 18:43:06 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux Ubuntu 8.04.2 I was unable to connect to a fresh install of mysql-server as the root user didn't work without a password. I was not asked for the password in the installation phase. So I tried sudo apt-get autoremove --purge mysql-server and then sudo apt-get install mysql-server and this happened: $ sudo apt-get install mysql-server Reading package lists...
