Thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu. I'm seeing this in the mysql error log: 2018-09-01T07:31:57.179473Z 0 [Note] Server hostname (bind-address): '127.0.0.1'; port: 3306 2018-09-01T07:31:57.179486Z 0 [Note] - '127.0.0.1' resolves to '127.0.0.1'; 2018-09-01T07:31:57.179506Z 0 [Note] Server socket created on IP: '127.0.0.1'. 2018-09-01T07:31:57.179519Z 0 [ERROR] Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: Address already in use 2018-09-01T07:31:57.179523Z 0 [ERROR] Do you already have another mysqld server running on port: 3306 ? 2018-09-01T07:31:57.179547Z 0 [ERROR] Aborting
Looks like something else is listening on mysql's port (3306). After reboot, is mysql running? Could you show the output of these commands please: sudo netstat -anp sudo systemctl status mysql tail /var/log/mysql/error.log sudo apt update sudo apt -f install tail /var/log/mysql/error.log # again Thanks ** Changed in: mysql-5.7 (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server, which is subscribed to mysql-5.7 in Ubuntu.
