Thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu. The logs show that mysql failed to start because it's missing its configuration directory: ERROR: Unable to start MySQL server: mysqld: Can't read dir of '/etc/mysql/conf.d/' (Errcode: 2 - No such file or directory) mysqld: [ERROR] Fatal error in defaults handling. Program aborted!
Did you remove that directory? Did you switch back and forth between mysql and mariadb? ** Changed in: mysql-5.7 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server, which is subscribed to mysql-5.7 in Ubuntu.
