+Hmm, interesting. MySQL starts fine here.

+MySQL has a native systemd unit so you should have done "systemctl
+disable mysqld.service". Once a native unit exists the enabled/disabled
+status of the sysvinit script is irrelevant.
+
+
+As a side note, how was your keyboard layout and do you have a
+/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf file?
+
+
+Just FYI, having spoken to Lennart, the plan is to write a patch for
+systemd-localed that will allow us to force a sync of locale settings
+(and thus write the above Xorg snippet) to ensure everyone gets the
+right keymapping. We will trigger this functionality on upgrade. This is
+currently the only thing holding me back from pushing this. I'll try and
+find time to write such a patch at the weekend.
