Based on: > Your account has expired; please contact your system administrator > chfn: PAM authentication failed > adduser: `/usr/bin/chfn -f MySQL Server mysql' returned error code 1. Exiting. I would say you have set up account password expiry for the mysql user and it has expired. I would suggest you try: sudo passwd -u mysql to straighten that out, and then try again. -- package mysql-server-5.0 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/302939 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
