Bug Description

On my cloned mirus AMED-64 PC housing a maxtor 750g, a maxed out 80g and 120 g seagate [disconnected] this week I upgraded Kubuntu 10.04 to 15.10, which had a shut down problem followed by Libre Office 5, which would not save documents.

on about 10-23-15 +/- 6-8 pm, Ubuntu Forum lost my ken78724 upgrade thread which was titled "10.04 to 15.10 ubuntu upgrade shut down problem" Oddly the Forum copy of that thread "Has been lost?"

This afternoon immediately after doing a terminal "Sudo apt-get update" and Sudo apt-get upgrade, and this several "mysql" terminal commands [which I cannot cite], auto notices did autolaunchpad problem submission. I cannot explain further.

Thanks for all that you do.

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

Since it seems likely to me that this is a local configuration problem, rather than a bug in Ubuntu, I'm marking this bug as Incomplete.

If indeed this is a local configuration problem, you can find pointers to get help for this sort of problem here: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community

Or if you believe that this is really a bug, then you may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem, explain why you believe this is a bug in Ubuntu rather than a problem specific to your system, and then change the bug status back to New.

Changed in mysql-5.6 (Ubuntu):
status: New → Incomplete

Yes mysqld inhouse 5.6.27-0ubuntu1 Config work arounds alleviated reoccurring grey screen crashes, but I can't solve the Bug,

the Lockring password etc and so far the Bug disallows every new update sent.

do set Bug 1511158 Ubuntu 15.10 mysqld 5.6.27-0ubuntu1 as a new bug. We have not solved the problems, which lets Kedek's ppa perform.

please pool the crash reports sent from my PC.

thanks to Robie, Mary, Brian Murray, and Kedek ppa team! Hurray!!

I'm sorry, I still don't understand your issue. Please could you read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html, provide steps on how to reproduce your issue on a fresh Ubuntu system and then change the bug status back to New? Without this information, we cannot tell whether this is a bug or a local configuration problem.

following a terminal sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get upgrade & then clicking on a update notice my screen fluttered / crashed on facebook; I waded through greyed out screen and tried to get you an image. So far no one on launchpad nor on ubuntuforum has suggested a way to collect info regards either or both bugs. Nor have I come across a work around.

I appreciate the problems you're facing, but unfortunately I can't help you through the bug tracker. Pointers to community support can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community

I suggest continuing to try to get help on ubuntuforums.org and perhaps askubuntu.com for your specific problem.

I appreciate that there are a large number of "bug reports" for the MySQL packaging with similar failures. This is due to the packaging not being great at handling misconfiguration and this can definitely be improved. I am working on this in the latest MySQL packaging both in Debian and Ubuntu. There are a number of underlying improvements that can be made but unfortunately the automated crash reports do not usually give me enough information to know which underlying causes to focus on or which bugs for the underlying issues to pool them against. So I can only really mark the bugs as Incomplete or Invalid.

In the meantime, I'm marking this issue as Incomplete here on the bug tracker, as without exact steps to independently reproduce the issue this isn't a bug in Ubuntu that a developer can directly fix in its current state. I appreciate that you can reproduce the problem on your system easily enough, but this isn't the same as a developer being able to reproduce the system separately.

Since developers use the bug tracker to plan ongoing work, if I don't mark it like this then this merely hampers Ubuntu development efforts by making the bug tracker less useful to developers.

thx/Seasons Greetings Robie. For now, I don't know which way to turn except
seeing months down the tubes

   1. I acknowledge I'm the who lost a few very valuable work when a bug
   crashed my PC, which I can't fix whatever has caused my fluttering greyed
   out monitor screen, leading to crash after crash, saying for example
   mysql-server-5.6 5.6.27-0ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess
   installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
   2. I must set my ailing PC the side, save my files to my cloud; and when
   feasible wipe this new WD 1T HD clean, then I guess, install 15.04 in lieu
   of 15.10
   3. Already, alternatively I bought a new laptop got me Win 8.1
   obsessively wanting to auto-upgrade to Win 10full of advertisements. I
   mean, to get the peace of mind Linux brings, that I must partition that new
   laptop's HD and very carefully select and install an OS having better
   reports

Again, Seasons Greetings!!!!

allow me to withdraw this bug as I've decided to ask for help getting my bios configured; that is set my bios differently so I can copy all files from the maxtor 750g and maxed out 80g and 120 g seagates. I've just acknowledged I may be 76 but I'm a noob as far as how to get my WD 1tbit HD running 15.10 wily configed so it boots allowing me to copy every file from the maxtor 750g, the 80g and 120 g seagates and those on 12 other HDs

This will let me ask you to mark the two bugs identified per ken78724 as solved. the solutions are intellectual at this point as far as I"m concerned

Many thanks for all you do!!!!! Happy New Year !!!!
