MySQL Ubuntu 16.04 not starting
I have tried to open Mysql in Linux Ubuntu 16.04 but I got an error:
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)
Then I tried to start the mysql server:
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

I had to remove mysql and reinstall it, now it works

The relevant error message is
MySQL system database not found in /var/lib/mysql. Please run mysqld --initialize.
Try running
sudo mysqld --initialize
then try starting the service again.
how did you find out the relevant error message? I did as you said and got another error <pre><code> ilqar@ubuntu:~$ sudo mysqld --initialize [sudo] password for ilqar: 2018-01-21T07:01:10.666769Z 0 [Warning] TIMESTAMP with implicit DEFAULT value is deprecated.

The problem is solved, when you remove mysql and then reinstall it.
To remove mysql completely run the following command:
$ sudo apt-get remove --purge --auto-remove mysql-client-* mysql-common mysql-server-*
$ sudo rm -r /etc/mysql* /var/lib/mysql* /var/log/mysql*
To install it again run:
$ sudo apt-get install mysql-server

The problem is solved, when you remove mysql and then reinstall it.
To remove mysql completely run the following command:
$ sudo apt-get remove --purge --auto-remove mysql-client-* mysql-common mysql-server-*
$ sudo rm -r /etc/mysql* /var/lib/mysql* /var/log/mysql*
To install it again run:
$ sudo apt-get install mysql-server
