It broke when I upgraded from hardy to 10.04. Maybe because the machine didn't run well with a PAE kernel and I had to do a hard reboot for it to come back to life, or just a broken upgrade. It used to get stuck in a xargs call in /etc/mysql/debian-start that seemed to go forkbomb. Since then I've just been running `sudo -b -u mysql mysqld`. And after the recent mysql update, I tried to fix it by backing up all the data and remove everything and reinstall, but apparently it just broke even worse. :( > 2. Did you choose a mysql root password when prompted? Choosing a password results in it complaining about not being able to change the password later, and then getting stuck on `start mysql` again. -- Install broken, won't start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/613032 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
