Public bug reported: 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.4 from lucid-proposed has a broken post-start script.
After starting mysql, /var/log/syslog says: init: mysql post-start process (11493) terminated with status 1 Looking at the post-start script shows two problems: 1) ret = $? Note the spaces before and after the '='. There should be none! As it is now, it tries to run a command called "ret" instead of setting a variable. 2) /usr/bin/mysqladmin --defaults-file=$HOME/debian.cnf ping If this returns a non-zero exit status (most likely because mysql isn't fully up yet), the post-script exits immediately! You need a "set +e" or something else that keeps the post-start script from exiting prematurely if the command returns with something != 0. ** Affects: mysql-dfsg-5.1 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: regression-proposed ** Tags added: regression-proposed -- post-start script broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/608423 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to mysql-dfsg-5.1 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
