Иван: tail попробовал - ничего не произошло, возможно, я не так использовал.
Попробовал удалить логи, а затем sudo service rsyslog restart, логи заработали, после этого выполняю
sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start,
консоль выдает как раньше:
[....] Starting mysql (via systemctl): mysql.serviceJob for mysql.service failed because the control process exited
with error code. See "systemctl status mysql.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
failed!
