HI!
It looks like you are having Mysql ver 8.0. Cqrlog does not work any more with Mysql ver.8 and up.
The solution is to install MariaDB. Installing that will remove Mysql8.
If you are using Synaptic packet manager look for following packets:
mariadb-client mariadb-server libmariadb libmariadb-dev-compat
On alternative, command console command goes something like this:
sudo apt-get install mariadb-client mariadb-server libmariadb libmariadb-dev-compat
If you have never used cqrlog before (I.E. no qsos in log) then after you have installed MariaDB before starting cqrlog again
issue command console command:
rm -rf ~/.config/cqrlog
That causes a clean restart.
NEVER do this again if you have already qsos in your log ! It will completely wipe out all logs and settings.
You can do the same delete with your file manager if you set "Show hidden files" ON and then find .config/cqrlog folder from your home directory.

HI Josh!
As I do not know your Ubuntu version and I have Fedora here (that has totally different package names) you have to search suitable packet names from here:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/searchsuite=default§ion=all&arch=any&key...
Look for closest names and choose them.

Lets try again.
It seems the link in previous message did not work. Lets see if this one is ok:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=impish§ion=all&arch=any&key...

I have the same problem here. I uninstalled cqrlog and mysql, removed .config/cqrlog, installed mariadb, re-installed cqrlog. cqrlog still insists on using mysql which doesn't work anymore.
Anyone manage to get this to work?
I have a fresh install of lubuntu 21.1 (impish).
HI!
You should start cqrlog from command-line console as
cqrlog --debug=1
Within about first 100 lines you should see that MariaDB really starts. If there is any mention about "mysql 8" your MariaDB installation has not removed mysql completely.
Another good place to check is also ~/.config/cqrlog/database/mysql.err text file. You can remove it and do new start so that there will be only lines from that latest start.
If any mention "mysql 8" there then you do not have MariaDB installed properly.
Because of new machine, I assume it is empty, the best way is to remove MariaDB and remove all mysql packages too. Then reinstall MariaDB and try again.
