Normally, your system should have a /etc/mysql/debian.cnf holding the following:
r...@gplhost:xen650901>_ ~# cat /etc/mysql/debian.cnf # Automatically generated for Debian scripts. DO NOT TOUCH! [client] host = localhost user = debian-sys-maint password = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock [mysql_upgrade] user = debian-sys-maint password = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock basedir = /usr Of course, the XXX thing is replaced by a random value setup by the mysqld package. If you don't have it, or if debian-sys-maint is not present in this file, then you have the above. I don't believe that a setup without the above described file is a healthy setup. Optionally, edit /etc/default/automysqlbackup and set your user / pass. Also, what is this: "Cannot proceed because system tables used by Event Scheduler were found damaged at server start" Please fix your system and come back to tell if the fault is on automysqlbackup.
