  • [Edit] your question and add the output of apt-cache policy mysql-server-5.5 – A.B. Nov 08 '15 at 21:30
  • Try running 'mysqld' from command line and check staking and /var/log/mysql/... files for any error messages – Thomas Ward Nov 08 '15 at 22:34

Here's a step by step procedure to install mysql in Ubuntu 12.04. The repository is given in question by OP. Here's how to add that repository 

sudo add-apt-repository 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ondrej/mysql-5.6/ubuntu precise main'

The question is marked solved so I assume It's a successful solution.

  • Unfortunately this solution doesn't work for me. I have persisted error, which I've marked before – Nikita Sorokine Nov 08 '15 at 20:17
  • @7_R3X Don't link other questions as your answer, click flag under the question and flag it as a duplicate, so it goes to the review queue. – Mark Kirby Nov 08 '15 at 20:35
  • At my opinion it is not a dublicate: my problem is quite different – Nikita Sorokine Nov 08 '15 at 20:36
  • @NikitaSorokine I am not saying it is, just saying this answer is just copied from another one on the site and that is discourage, just because one user flags a question does not mean it is a duplicate, five users with enough rep must all agree. Anyway I am making an answer – Mark Kirby Nov 08 '15 at 20:56

Start by taking a step backwards and purge whatever partial install the system is finding. 

sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql-server

Follow that with an attempt to get rid of any busted config files.

sudo apt-get autoremove

Now you're starting fresh. You shouldn't have to add the repository. Just try 

sudo apt-get install msyql-server

In fact, I'm pretty sure that MySql server and client are both available through the Software Center as far back as Precise.
