Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
Testing mysqldump on hardy shows that /etc/mysql/my.cnf is opened and read: math...@t-mysql-h:~$ strace mysqldump 2>&1 | grep 'my.cnf' stat("/etc/mysql/my.cnf", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=3926, ...}) = 0 open("/etc/mysql/my.cnf", O_RDONLY) = 3 stat("/home/mathiaz/.my.cnf", 0x7fff0d7f0fc0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("/usr/etc/my.cnf", 0x7fff0d7f0fc0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) Setting options under mysqldump section in /etc/mysql/my.cnf is also working correctly. Could you outline what doesn't work for you? ** Changed in: mysql-dfsg-5.0 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low Status: New => Incomplete -- mysqldump doesn't pick up /etc/mysql/my.cnf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/342578 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
