This affects me as well. in /etc/mysql/conf.d there was a symlink to /home/user/my.cnf[mysql] -----------------------------------------begin my.cnf------------------------ default-character-set = utf8
[mysqld] default-character-set = utf8 character-set-server = utf8 character_set_database = utf8 -----------------------------------------begin my.cnf------------------------ After I removed the symlink I was able to start/restart mysql. -- infinite loop in /etc/init/mysql.conf if mysqld is not running. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/551130 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
