Thanks for the report.

Based on the logs I do not see any install issues however inyour mysql log there are a number of errors:

ERROR: 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'ALTER TABLE user ADD column Show_view_priv enum('N','Y') CHARACTER SET utf8 NOT ' at line 1
151201 19:26:24 [ERROR] Aborting

However the latest startup appears to have worked normally. As a result I am not sure this is actually a bug in Ubuntu or a local configuration problem. I will be marking this as incomplete unless you have additional information or can provide steps to reproduce. Thanks!
