Apt-get Error installing Percona-Server on Ubuntu Lucid

MySQL & MariaDB Other MySQL® Questions
#1

Hello all, my first post here , so be gentle. :slight_smile:

I am trying to install Percona server 5.1 on a Dev machine, Ubuntu Lucid 64 bit. I installed the repos, and followed all instructions as per Percona website, however no matter what i do i always get the below error…

Any ideas?? What logs if any would i check?

Thanks to all

Another bit of info…

when i did a ps -ax i found this

root@D9:/var/lib# ps -ax|grep mysql
Warning: bad ps syntax, perhaps a bogus ‘-’? See http://procps.sf.net/faq.html
12313 ? Ssl 0:00 /usr/sbin/mysqld

SO i killed it with a kill -9

Then i did another ps -ax right away and saw this…

12313 ? Ssl 0:00 /usr/sbin/mysqld
12339 ? S 0:00 /bin/bash /etc/mysql/debian-start

Then i did another ps -aux about 5 seconds later and saw this…

Warning: bad ps syntax, perhaps a bogus ‘-’? See http://procps.sf.net/faq.html
12313 ? Ssl 0:00 /usr/sbin/mysqld

It would seem the start up script is broken somehow, maybe? Or its a debian related thing?

I am starting and stopping with /etc/init.d/mysql

#6

according to the log file below, your server started up succesfully but then was restarted – was that from you? did you try just ignoring the error message and using the db?

apt-get reinstall percona-server-server-5.1
tail -f /var/log/syslog
ps auxw | grep mysql
/etc/init.d/mysql start if needed
mysql -uroot

#7

For some odd reason after a reboot all is fine???

Weird…

It starts and stops just fine…

Thanks for all your help…
