Public bug reported: I am running Ubuntu 15.04 which recently upgraded to MySQL 5.6. Ever since then, it's been unable to start on boot because /var/run/mysqld doesn't exist. Doing a sudo service mysql start just hangs. Creating the directory and assigning mysql:root and 755 as permissions allows mysql to start, but the folder is destroyed on every reboot.
