I have a duel boot machine having Windows and Ubuntu 12.10.

I was using MySQL database in my Windows machine and now want to use it form Ubuntu. I installed mysql in Ubuntu and set datadir.

As mentioned in this Post, I changed /etc/apparmor.d/local/usr.sbin.mysqld also.

Still when I run the command

sudo service mysql start, I'm getting the error start: Job failed to start

The command dmesg | grep mysql is showing the output.

Use mysqldump for backuping database from windows and install it in ubuntu. For gui you can use export/import option in phpmyadmin

  • That means I've to maintain two instances of database? export/import will take care of only new data updates?

  • Do you want to share same instance of db for both os?

  • Yes. I want to use the same database file in both os. In worst case only I would like to prefer the mysqldump option.
