Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

Please attach the error from /var/log/mysql/error.log after the actual fail-to-start failure. The logs automatically attached don't contain the failure as they have rotated out since you first had a problem as far as I can tell.

Once done, please change the bug status back to New.

The mysql server is not starting at all.

`sudo service mysql start` just waits for hours.

The only fix I found was completely remove mysql-server and re-install it. It will works.

Thanks.

Your log had "2015-07-06 12:55:05 27747 [ERROR] /usr/sbin/mysqld: unknown variable 'log_slow_queries=/var/log/mysql/mysql-slow.log'" so I presume this was a custom configuration change that no longer works after the upgrade to 5.6? Marking this bug as Invalid then. If I'm mistaken, please explain and reopen.
