All `sudo mysqld` gives is: 120813 7:28:50 [ERROR] Fatal error: Please read "Security" section of the manual to find out how to run mysqld as root! 120813 7:28:50 [ERROR] Aborting 120813 7:28:50 [Note] /usr/sbin/mysqld: Shutdown complete
/var/log/mysql.err and tail /var/log/mysql.log are empty because mysqld fails to start (for my version of this problem). syslog has: Aug 13 07:22:29 AlSSD kernel: [ 1898.934344] init: mysql main process (5335) terminated with status 1 Aug 13 07:22:29 AlSSD kernel: [ 1898.934403] init: mysql main process ended, respawning Aug 13 07:22:30 AlSSD kernel: [ 1899.947461] init: mysql post-start process (5336) terminated with status 1 Aug 13 07:22:30 AlSSD kernel: [ 1899.984589] init: mysql main process (5363) terminated with status 1 Aug 13 07:22:30 AlSSD kernel: [ 1899.984649] init: mysql main process ended, respawning Aug 13 07:22:31 AlSSD kernel: [ 1900.997748] init: mysql post-start process (5364) terminated with status 1 Aug 13 07:22:31 AlSSD kernel: [ 1901.027165] init: mysql main process (5391) terminated with status 1 Aug 13 07:22:31 AlSSD kernel: [ 1901.027185] init: mysql respawning too fast, stopped Because my original failure started with a syslog about apparmor deny, I disabled apparmor with `sudo service apparmor teardown`, but that left me with the messages above during the failed starts. Could be related to the fact that for me / (where mysqld would load from) is mounted on an an SSD, but /var, /home, and /tmp (where presumably mysqld would create database files) are on an HD. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/958120 Title: MySQL does not start with utf8 options To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.5/+bug/958120/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
