Unfortunately this question was too vague in it's original form. It should really have been asked on another site, perhaps Ask Ubuntu but it needs a lot more detail if it will get asked again. Therefore, this question is closed as Off Topic. – jcolebrand♦ Jan 13 '12 at 15:25
MySQL 5.5.8 is the first GA release of MySQL 5.5. I would not trust anything before MySQL 5.5.8. Upgrade to the latest, please. – RolandoMySQLDBA Jan 13 '12 at 16:39
