I am working on a fresh install of Ubuntu 21.04 or a Dell R610 server.
I recently installed mariadb and a number of Wordpress sites. I had to remove, purge and autoremove the mariadb because of the error I will present here. At this point I am starting fresh install of mysql-server.
I did the following steps to install mysql-server
{lsb-release -a}
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 21.04
Release: 21.04
Codename: hirsute
{sudo apt update}
{sudo apt install mysql-server}
Then I checked the install.
{sudo systemctl status mysql}

I attempted to start MySQL to get the journal -xe output.
{sudo systemctl start mysql}
The journal -xe output is:
Automatic restarting of the unit mysql.service has been scheduled, as the result for
░░ the configured Restart= setting for the unit.

There are two statements I do not understand and a search on the internet has not resulted in much information.

This is a brand new build. So it should not be an issue....unless this is a dev issue and ubuntu 21.04 does not work with MySQL or MariaDB yet.
Any help would be great. My next attempt will require downgrading ubuntu to 20.04.
