New installation of OS - trouble getting CQRLOG back

So I had a problem and had to do a fresh install (Linux Mint 19.1).
When I re-installed CQRLOG, I got the following message:
Error during connection to database: Can not load default MySQL library ("libmysqlclient.so.16" or "libmysqlclient.so"). Check your installation.

Anything I can do?

Re: New installation of OS - trouble getting CQRLOG back

Hi Jerry,

please install libmariadbclient-dev and libmariadbclient-dev-compat packages. How did you install the package? All needed dependencies are listed and should be installed together with the CQRLOG deb package.

Still won't load

Thanks Petr
So I installed the two files you suggested, but still get:
"Error during connection to database: TMySQL56Connection : Server connect failed."

I installed CQRlog originally from the Linux Mint Synaptic Package manager. My notes from a few years ago mentioned these dependencies. Wonder if I should un-install and then re-install via the command line?

Thanks

Try updating to mariadb version 10.5

i think the problem is in the database version.
Linux Mint 19.1 should use version 10.2.
You should install mariadb 10.5 but it should be available on Linux Mint 20.

Still not working

I had been running Mint 19.1 for over a year and CQRLOG was FB - so I don't know if
upgrading to Mint 20 is the answer. I downloaded and installed the suggested files to
no avail. I even deleted CQRLOG and loaded it from the command line. Nothing.

Will tinker with this in the morning

Thanks all

New installation of OS - trouble getting CQRLOG back

HI Jerry !

Any help from checking these:

sudo apt install mariadb-common mariadb-server mariadb-client
sudo apt install cqrlog
(That is from message : https://www.cqrlog.com/node/2507 )

As usual "can not connect to database"! This is what I have seen so many times here.
At this time my install was done without package and I cannot blame package makers.
After few starts as cqrlog debug=1 it cleared out that cqrlog cannot find a link to mariadb libraries. Link was not there where cqrlog expects it to be. A symlink was needed to fix this:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmysqlclient.so.21 /lib/libmysqlclient.so

After that cqrlog started nicely!
(That is from message : https://www.cqrlog.com/node/2984 )

Try to install "libmariadb-dev-compat" and you do not need a symlink.
(Same as Petr suggest, but here is question of Ubuntu, not Mint. Are they similar enough?)
(That is from message : https://www.cqrlog.com/comment/8769#comment-8769 )

The version of mariadb is important.

Hi Saku,
from what you say there seems to be a dependency management problem, otherwise it is not explained why I, for example, would have to install "libmariadb-dev-compat" separately, to get cqrlog to work.

See below:

$ apt-cache depends cqrlog | grep mariadb
mariadb-client-core-10.5
mariadb-server-core-10.5
Depends: libmariadb-dev-compat

These are the dependencies of the original cqrlog package valid since 2.5.0.
Back to 2.5.0 I didn't check.

That's why I advised in the answer to Jerry to switch to mariadb 10.5.

On Debian the above packages are automatically installed by cqrlog, otherwise cqrlog would not be installable. I understand that every linux distribution is different from another, but at least the dependencies of one package should be the same for all.

The version of mariadb is important.

However a version number for mariadb is not specified in the cqrlog dependencies, it uses the available version provided by the Linux distribution used.

have installed the software recommended by Saku (OK1KH) and now get the following:
Error during connection to database: TMySQL56Connection : Server connect failed.

Not sure if this is progress

New installation of OS - trouble getting CQRLOG back

Hi Jerry!

Can you start your current cqrlog from console window as:
cqrlog --debug=1 > /tmp/debug.txt
And when it stops to error add the file /tmp/debug.txt to your next message here. Then we can see if there is any glue.

And for Giuseppe,IKØDWJ:
Good points! I can not check those things as I have Fedora here and it has dnf instead of apt and different repositories.

Saku,

Saku,
This is what I got:
Unable to open file "/root/.config/cqrlog/ctyfiles/Country.tab".

Press OK to ignore and risk data corruption.
Press Abort to kill the program.

OK Jerry!

You should NEVER run cqrlog as root user.
You install it as root (or sudo) but then you must use your regular username for daily use, not root.

But never mind. debug so far does not show anything wrong. Is this really all you get?

Yep, that's my last line..and the command line cursor just sits there blinking.
do I need to install "get" or "gt"

Jerry

ik0dwj
Read more carefully what Saku writes to you.

Hi Jerry!

It is not necessary to install "get" or "gt". The arrow on the right ">" for some reason has been changed with the related html code ">" and misinterpreted as commad "gt" which obviously has nothing to do with debugging.

New installation of OS - trouble getting CQRLOG back

Hi Jerry!

Open command terminal. Do not open root terminal, but terminal with user account.
You should see prompt like (username @ PC name):

[saku@tpad ~]$

Then write:

mysql --version (and press enter to get some results)
whereis mysqld (and press enter to get some results)
whereis mysqld_safe (and press enter to get some results)

Paint, copy and paste results to your next message, or take screen copy from command console and add picture to your next message.

HI Jerry!

"mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.7.33" shows out that you do not have MariDB installed, or working properly. Then you will have problems with cqrlog.
Your Ubuntu install shows better. You have MariaDB there and cqrlog should work better.

update

Realizing that it's not kosher to reply to ones own email - I've been going through the .config files and notice a huge discrepancy between what I have on my back-up drive and what's installed in my 1TB home folder inside the computer. Not sure, but I'd be surprised of that wasn't the source of my woes.

For example, the jerryw/.config/cqrlog/database folder doesn't even exist in my system home folder.

another example, the jerryw/.config/cqrlog is also different - assume the back-up drive has the correct version

Happy to accept any advice before I try to copy/replace those hidden files

New installation of OS - trouble getting CQRLOG back

Hi Jerry!

Do not copy/replace anything yet.
Make backup copy of your current jerryw/.config/cqrlog folder with console:

cp -a /home/jerryw/.config/cqrlog /home/jerryw/.config/cqrlog_backup

Check that /home/jerryw/.config/cqrlog_backup looks similar as /home/jerryw/.config/cqrlog
Then remove /home/jerryw/.config/cqrlog

rm -rf /home/jerryw/.config/cqrlog

And try to start cqrlog again.

If it starts it should say that "seems that you have not use cqrlog before" .... let it use local machine for logs and make log001
If it works the you know that you previous folder /home/jerryw/.config/cqrlog had something wrong.

After successful start you can again remove

rm -rf /home/jerryw/.config/cqrlog

and restore old directory completely from backup drive or restore the backup you did with

cp -a /home/jerryw/.config/cqrlog_backup /home/jerryw/.config/cqrlog

And start to dig out what is wrong in folder.

old CQRLOG folder

I had a modest screw-up - I removed that .config/CQRLOG folder but didn't copy it...realizing that I have a good copy of /.config/cqrlog from my old OS where CQRLOG worked just fine.

At this point I have no choice - I'll just copy that old .config/cqrlog file over and see what happens

Jerry

oh1kh
old CQRLOG folder

Hi Jerry!

Sad to hear!
You did not follow my orders line by line. Do not find short path to skip something.

I asked you
1) backup your folder
2) delete original folder
3) start cqrlog Did you this? what happened then? You just say you copied old folder from old OS
I am very interested in what happens when you start cqrlog so that you have first removed ~/.cqnfig/cqrlog folder completely and NOT COPIED anything. That corresponds situation where you have never used cqrlog before and everything is started from zero.

But do not delete your ~/.cqnfig/cqrlog folder unless you have first checked that your backup copy is ok and you are able to restore it!

The tail of mysql.err file does not tell anything valuable for me.

A screen copy how far cqrlog starts and maybe the complete debug dump that you get if you start cqrlog from console as "cqrlog --debug=1" may say more.

Oooops

Sorry
The answer is that yes, after I deleted /.config/cqrlog, CQRLOG came on, as if I was a new user.

That's when I then installed the old /.config/cqrlog file from when CQRLOG was last working. CQRLOG wou not load. Here is what I get in response to "cqrlog --debug=1"

Hi !
Try these commands from console:
chown -R jerryw.jerryw /home/jerryw/.config/cqrlog/

If you get errors then add sudo
sudo chown -R jerryw.jerryw /home/jerryw/.config/cqrlog/

After that give
chmod -R 755 /home/jerryw/.config/cqrlog/

And after that try again start cqrlog with debug=1
