Trying to get started

I installed CQRLOG through POP_SHOP. I am a new user to POP!OS which is basically UBUNTU. The error appears to be related to mysql. The error suggests I post the last few lines of the debug file here. Please be nice I am new to Linux. I'm learning it as fast as I can . HA HA

Thoughts on how to resolve this??

>> sudo apt update <<

>> sudo apt update <<
>> sudo apt install mariadb-server <<

Say yes to everything, then start CQRlog after.
MySQL has been replaced by MariaDB in Ubuntu some time ago, but doesn't install automatically.

Same problem? diff OP

OK, I am getting at the start of CQRLOG "Error during connection to database: TMySQL57 Connection: Server connect failed." error. Using info above info, I removed MySQL, I re-loaded (after uninstall) CQRLOG and ran >> sudo apt update << and >> sudo apt install mariadb-server <<.. I get the same error. ??

I didn't get "much" to say Y to.

steve@steve-ThinkPad-T460p:~$ sudo apt install mariadb-server

mariadb-server is already the newest version (1:10.1.43-0ubuntu0.18.04.1).
mariadb-server set to manually installed.
The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
libevent-core-2.1-6
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove it.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.

I am running Mint 19.2
I used Package Manager to remove/uninstall. and I "saw" that mariadb was included... w/cqrlog.

You should not have removed

You should not have removed MySQL first, when installing MariaDB it "sees" what other packages are installed with MySQL and replaces them with MariaDB versions.
Looks like you are missing some client-dependencies.
Try apt-get install --reinstall cqrlog, maybe it fixes it.

Is mariadb-client and mariadb-client-core installed?
Can you connect to the database at all?

Else see this topic, could also be the problem:

Try this:

Try this:

>> sudo apt install libmariadb3 libmariadb-dev <<

See if it works then.
