Are you running kali from a hardrive or a persistent usb?

It looks to us that you have simply not started mysql as we get the same warning until we do the following:

Try this it works on our kali-linux 1.05 persistent usb

In a terminal window type:

service mysql start [Enter]

You will get notification starting mysql database etc
Checking tables etc

Now type:
mysql -u root -p

Note you may not have a password if using a persistent usb so just try hitting enter or enter your password you use for kali-linux if a HD install.

You will get Welcome Blah Blah Blah and end up with a mysql prompt as indicated below:

mysql>

You can now enter mysql commands.
