Apologies for the delay, I have not been able to work on this but I am still experiencing this problem.
Mathias - yes, I am able to connect to the mysqld server - it behaves normally, but will not stop. How should I go about fixing the tables? also mylog above states: Feb 27 14:08:32 wilberforce mysqld: 100227 14:08:32 [ERROR] Column count of mysql.db is wrong. Expected 22, found 20. The table is probably corrupted Feb 27 14:08:32 wilberforce mysqld: 100227 14:08:32 [ERROR] mysql.user has no `Event_priv` column at position 29 but PHPMyAdmin shows that the Event_priv column is present,and is at position 29, and that the column count of mysql.db is 22. -- package mysql-server-5.1 5.1.37-1ubuntu5 upgrade fails - cannot stop mysqld https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/529004 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
