I've fixed this issue for my case. I have kubuntu 12.04 (64-bit) and tried to install airtime. And it was failing. As I'm newbie I've spent few hours searching for a cause. in log file i found this:
createdb: database creation failed: ERROR: new encoding (UTF8) is incompatible with the encoding of the template database (SQL_ASCII) HINT: Use the same encoding as in the template database, or use template0 as template. Next two hours looking for a right solution (of many I've found), and thanks to this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/20880/how-do-i-create-a-unicode-databases-in-postgresql-8-4 Ive entered in terminal: sudo pg_dropcluster --stop 9.1 main sudo pg_createcluster --locale=en_US.utf8 --start 9.1 main And works fine 4 me :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/573318 Title: mysql server will not start To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mysql-server/+bug/573318/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
