Title:
  mysql doesn't start, but myth frontend & backend partially start, then
  fail when I manually start mysql

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
  New

Bug description:
  I upgraded to Mythbuntu 12.04 in late May (from 10.10, quickly through
  11.04 & 11.10).

  I have been using MythTV for 4 years, but this is the longest period
  that problems have persisted.

  I use a combined Myth BE & FE PC, although last week I started
  exploring (successfully) using a slave BE, but that is not in
  operation.

  A few weeks after the upgrade, mysql no longer started during the boot up process.
  The Mythfrontend first menu does not appear.

  I am an end user, so it took a while to work out the problem & how to
  work around it.

  Now, after I boot the MythPC , I use Systems Monitor to confirm which apps are running ( mythtvbackend, mythtvfrontend, mythtvfrontend.real) & that mysql is not.
  In the meantime, the system tells me that Myth apps have crashed.
  I then open a terminal & start mysql (sudo start mysql).
  After a little while the first menu screen of Myth frontend appears, but the window is locked.
  After a little while a crash notice appears & the menu disappears.
  A little while later, the menu reappears & is functional.
  Another bug report message appears.  Some of the time, I have tried to let the bug reporting system continue, but it usually fails.
  Mostly, I just disregard the crash notices, due to the frequency (multiple per boot), & the failure to continue to a report, but today I thought that I would persevere.

  If someone could tell me how to make sure that mysql would start
  during boot (I assume via upstart), it would eliminate a very
  frustrating sequence of events.  I have seen comments on the internet
  about checking /etc/init.d/mysql, but I have no idea as to what the
  script does.  Perhaps mysql does try to start, but fails, but I don't
  know how to confirm that.

  I have asked several people about upstart, but none of them have had
  any experience with it.

  If I am not home, my dear wife can't do any of the steps that I do.

  So, I do hope that one of you skilled people can make some sense of
  this.

  Regards, Garry.
