MySQL Ubuntu 16.04 não está iniciando

Question

Eu tentei abrir o Mysql no Linux Ubuntu 16.04, mas recebi um erro:

ilqar@ubuntu:~$ mysql -u root -p
Enter password: 
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)

Então eu tentei iniciar o servidor mysql:

ilqar@ubuntu:~$ sudo service mysql start
Job for mysql.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status mysql.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
ilqar@ubuntu:~$ ^C
ilqar@ubuntu:~$ systemctl status mysql.service

Sou novato no Linux, por favor me ajude a descobrir o problema.

    

Answer 1

Eu tive que remover o mysql e reinstalá-lo, agora funciona

    

Answer 2

A mensagem de erro relevante é

MySQL system database not found in /var/lib/mysql. Please run mysqld --initialize.

Tente executar

sudo mysqld --initialize

tente iniciar o serviço novamente.
