I just installed CQRlog and am getting an error message upon running the program. I need help as I am new to Ubuntu.
Here is the contents of the error file:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

HI Dave!
As so many time (and message threads here) you have installed an faulty Ubuntu package that does not change mysqld 8.0.31-0ubuntu0.20.04.2 to MariaDB.
It is unfortunate that this bug has not been fixed by Ubuntu people.
You have to install MariaDB server and client that replaces mysqld 8.0
sudo apt install mariadb-common mariadb-server mariadb-client

Thanks for the answer Saku. That took care of the problem.
I have a problem with a log entry showing the wrong country. The call is AD8IO. The log is showing Alaska when QRZ and HamQTH are showing Ohio, USA. How can I correct this? Thanks!
Hi!
Official version of Cqrlog does not allow edited DXCC saving.
My alpha test version that I use locally here allows it. You find source code from https://github.com/OH1KH/cqrlog/tree/loc_testing and if you do not want to compile by yourself thre are ready build binaries in https://github.com/OH1KH/cqrlog/tree/loc_testing/compiled
Just download newupdate.zip, extract and run newupdate.sh in command terminal. It will do backups and update for you.

Hi Saku.
I have the same issue as Dave K8HW.
I have followed your advice to Dave K8HW, but still not working.
I'm running Linux Mint 21.1 the latest version (Ubuntu ????) see screen shot attached.
When I run "sudo apt install mariadb-common mariadb-server mariadb-client" the process is .....

When I restart CQRLog, I get the same on screen error message, as I did initially.
Any help would be much appreciated .....

HI Dave!
Could it be that installing MariaDB did not remove Mysql?
We have to find it out next.
Do you have any qsos in your log(s)? I.E is this an update, or fresh install?
In case you do NOT have any qsos you could first try to delete folder ~/.config/cqrlog
With command console:
rm -rf ~/.config/cqrlog
If you have qsos in log DO NOT DO THIS! It removes completely all: logs and settings.
If you did it and made a new fresh start without success, or if you could not do deleting then next to do is start Cqrlog from command console with:
cqrlog --debug=1 > /tmp/debug.txt
Once cqrlog has stopped and closed find the file /tmp/debug.txt and send it to me as attachment via email.
My address is ok in Hamqth or Qrz.
We can continue this via email

Hi Saku.
Thank you for the reply.
All sorted ...
rm -rf ~/.config/cqrlog solved the problem.
Thank you very much.
