I have used 'sudo apt-get install mysql-server', and it asks me if I want to install 2 files.

mysql-server is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 7 not upgraded.
2 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?

I enter Y (for yes)

The configure window pops up asking to set the root password. I enter it, and it continues the install.

All goes well...Until;

120420 14:47:45  InnoDB: Starting shutdown...

Any help appreciated.

Have a look at mysql logs, I'm sure you'll find some pretty easy-to-fix reason why it won't start.

It doesn't generate any log. A lot of people have reported this as a bug but I can't find a solution in any website.
