Comment 3 for bug 580375

Hi, chuck
What do you mean? Mysql root password is not empty. Should i put it somewhere?
I've read on the ubuntu forum that it's actually a problem with mysql
upstart script.. So at first i was doing "sudo -u mysql mysqld" after
each boot, then i copied an init.d script from an other machine. Both
solutions work, so the problem is not with mysql.
