I can't install mysql on 14.04: "Unable to set password for the MySQL root user"

I have tried the solutions presented in Error installing mysql server on Ubuntu 14.04 but I still can't get it to work. The problem i think is when I install it asks me to set password, but then i get "Unable to set password for the MySQL "root" user.

Anything else I can try?
