Server Mysql se neočekávaně zastavil na mé nové instanci Ubuntu 18.04 a při pokusu o spuštění se objevila stejná chyba.
Job for mysql.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status mysql.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
Při spuštění příkazu systemctl status mysql.service
