I can confirm this is still an issue. Deckard's solution helped, but it only looks at the DBEXCLUDE parameter if you are also setting the configuration parameter DBNAMES line to "all" in the /etc/default/automysqlbackup file.
By default, the configuration file has these defaults: DBNAMES=`mysql --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf --execute="SHOW DATABASES" | awk '{print $1}' | grep -v ^Database$ | grep -v ^mysql$ | tr \\\r\\\n ,\ ` DBEXCLUDE="information_schema" They could be changed to this to fix the issue: DBNAMES="all" DBEXCLUDE="information_schema performance_schema" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/995587 Title: mysqldump: Got error: 1142: SELECT,LOCK TABL command denied to user 'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost' for table 'cond_instances' when using LOCK TABLES To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/automysqlbackup/+bug/995587/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
