I am new to Ubuntu and I have been trying to install mysql on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS -hosted on a virtualbox but I keep on getting the same message regardless of what I try. I have tried to uninstall mysql completely and re-install it using the methods proposed by @aquilla <here>. I tried to add resources to /etc/apt/resources.list . I even tried to upgrade the OS from 20.04 to 22.04 but none of them have worked so far. This error message is what comes up. I really appreciate any help. Thanks!

Did you look up what `Failed with result 'oom-kill'` means?

Yeah how much base memory did you allocate to the VM?

I had allocated 40GB and so far I have used only 11.53GB.

Thank you both for directing me to the base memory; that was the main problem all along. When I increased the base memory of the VM, the problem was solved.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
