I've performed a cleanup after trying to install a new fresh 12.04 Ubuntu Server.
I followed your instructions (I think the my.cnf has been updated in the repos) but it's still not working: root@s16224997:/var/cache/apt/archives# dpkg --configure -a Setting up mysql-server-5.5 (5.5.22-0ubuntu1) ... start: Job failed to start invoke-rc.d: initscript mysql, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing mysql-server-5.5 (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of mysql-server: mysql-server depends on mysql-server-5.5; however: Package mysql-server-5.5 is not configured yet. dpkg: error processing mysql-server (--configure): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing: mysql-server-5.5 mysql-server Any work around or fix?
