I've had the same problem because at the post-install I've pressed
ENTER when asked for a mysql password for user 'bacula', believing
that a random password will be selected automatically.

######
Please provide a password for bacula-director-mysql to register with
the database server.  If left blank, a random password will be
generated for you.

MySQL application password for bacula-director-mysql:
[BLANK]
  <Ok>    <Cancel>
######

The password is generated, but it is not saved in the bacula-dir.conf
file, thus the bacula-dir will exit because it cannot connect to the
'catalog'. The solution was to reset the password for
'bacula'@'localhost' and add it unde "MyCatalog".

I didn't had the time to send a bug report yet.. maybe you can do it
before me (I'm not using Ubuntu, but I think this is inherited from
Debian).

Note that by default it listens on localhost:9101 and you cannot
connect remotely until you change this.

Cheers
