Hello Saku,
First of all, thank you very much for your continuous work on CQRLOG Alpha.
While investigating DXCC statistics, I noticed what may be an inconsistency in the New QSO window.
Observed behavior:
* The "DXCC info" panel correctly recognizes LoTW confirmations and displays entries such as:
"2024-02-21 17M LoTW cfmd".
* However, the bottom "DXCC statistic" table (tabDXCCStat) often shows only "X" instead of "L", "QL", or "QLE".
Example:
Saku,
QT5 is obsolete, see below. I think that you should remove support for it from Cqrlog-Improved rather than trying to support a dead system.
Qt 5 is officially obsolete and reached its End of Life (EOL) for standard support in May 2023. The current standard is Qt 6, which offers vastly improved rendering performance, modern graphics pipeline support (Vulkan, Metal), and better cross-platform capabilities
Hello everyone,
I’ve just installed Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, and I’m getting the unsurprising message: “Error during connection to database: TMySQL57Connection: Server connect failed.”
With the new version of Ubuntu, is there a different way to install the MariaDB server?
Hi Saku!
I am using your Cqrlog-Improved version. Initially, it wouldn't compile, but then you pushed an update to your GitHub repository and everything worked perfectly.
When do you plan to implement that modification you mentioned here? Link

<p>## GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG) is a free, open-source implementation of the OpenPGP standard (RFC 4880). It ships as a core component of nearly every major Linux distribution, meaning most Linux-based amateur radio operators already have it installed and ready to use — no additional setup required.</p>

I had been running Xubuntu 25.10 and all was well with CQRLog. After the upgrade to 26.04, I'm getting the message: "TMySQL57Connection : Server connect failed."
The mysql.err has old entries from before I upgraded, but no new entries.
The following database components are installed: libmariadb-dev-compat mariadb-client mariadb-server mariadb-common
Any suggestions?

Hi Saku!
Recently, after enabling QRZ on CQRLOG Alpha 142, I noticed that only QSOs after activation are synced, which I can update later. All previous QSOs are unsynced because I get an error related to the NO LOGIDS parameter, which blocks subsequent uploads. Currently, the only way to use QRZ on CQRLOG is to create a new log from scratch, but that's not the case for me; so I've gone back to manually uploading ADIF files to QRZ. Here's my question: Is it possible to add QRZ sync to CQRLOG?

I am trying to update from Ubuntu 22.04 to a clean install of Ubuntu 26.04, and therefore have to reinstall all apts including CQRlog 2.5.2-6 .
1. I installed Ubuntu 26.04 LTS and it behaves successfully.
2. I installed mariadb-server and mariadb-client with these terminal commands:
sudo apt install mariadb-server mariadb-client
3. I installed CQRlog with this command:
sudo apt install cqrlog
4. From the Ubuntu desktop, I open the CQRLOG application.
Hello ,
after three days and nights just give up, i change a system for ubuntu to mint and back couple of times , and still getting TMySQL57Connection : Server connect failed.

CqrlogAlpha(142) If the cursor is in the State field and you hit tab, the cursor goes to the ITU zone field, not the County.
Not a big bug, but annoying.
Hi Folks,
Playing with PstRotatorAz for a remote connection. I have it working from two Windows PCs. to two Windows PCs. That part is easy. I wanted to see if I could get it to work with CQRLog to a Windows PC. I have messed with the al of the addresses, but no success. Can it be done, has anyone here done it?
Also, is there a to have some of the setting set? I know one of the is auto/manual. I see there is a way to set limits. Have not figured that out yet either.
Any extra help would be awesome!

If there is a TRX rig defined and that rig is turned off, you can't manually enter a frequency. The keyboard input is immediately jumps back to zero.
That's a problem. If I make a contact on a rig that is not a TRX I can't manually enter the frequency. That sucks. I had to delete my rig in TRX to enter a frequency. Too much trouble to use TRX that way. That needs to be fixed.
Also, I see 2.5.2 version referred to as an old rev, but it is the one for download on your website. What's with that?

I'm trying to configure CQRLog to interface with my radio (an FT-710) through FLRig. I'm running the latest release of FLRig and CQRLog on a Linux machine running Zoran Linux 18.1. Both Apps installed without any problem. FLRig when launched separately connects to my rig and I have full control. CQRLog launches correctly (now that I fixed the database issue discussed in my prior post).
Alpha 142 QT5 2026-05-1
Preferences:
"Ignore changes caused by LoTW/eQSL upload or download" is checked but ignored.
After Upload/Download, all QSOs are uploaded again.
The Upload acts sometimes strange. After editing one QSO, it was deleted and uploaded to all Logs three times.
Upload to hamqth runs sometimes into error too.
QSO is in my Log and in the hamqth Log, but could not deleted when it is reuploaded after a change.
Here are lines from the error file...

I am setting up a new PC with Zoron 18.1. I installed CQRLog and when first launched it crashes trying to create the first database.
I get the following error: "MySql could not be started, please check if MySql Server is installed properly." and "Error during connection to database: TMySQL57Connection : Server connect failed."
Latest git pull from today.

This Version has sometimes Connection Problems with WSJTX. Connection Times Out or could not be established after the start of WSJTX but could be reestablished. Retry at the initial Error Message from WSJTX (no Radio Connection) or, if the Connection Button goes from green to orange, after a Click on that Button. Previous cqrlog Versions had stable Connections.
WSJTX Improved Plus latest Version.

I have two rigs, a Flex 8400 and a Yaesu FT-1000 MP. TRX is working for the Flex after many changes on the settings. I can't find the same magic for the MP. Starting with what works with JTDX, I have these settings. No joy on the TRX. Is there a log file that might show errors, looked in .config/cqrlog and didn't see anything.
Hi
I've updated, from old debian 9 32 bit, to debian 12 amd64. Keeping /home volume to keep all data.
installed CQRLOG from command line, but has error connecting database. Running in debug mode the result is (just a part)
MySQLProcess.Executable: /usr/sbin/mysqld Parameters: --defaults-file=/home/lu1ibl/.config/cqrlog/database/mysql.cnf

When making develop tests with Alpha_142 version I noticed that there is a problem with my "ALL" log when using Online Logs. This perhaps never happen to anyone else, but in case may happen.
My setup is Fedora43 linux and I am using local MariaDB server for logs. MariaDB version is "Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.11.16-MariaDB"
In Cqrlog setup I do NOT use "save log data to local machine", instead Database Connect window has 127.0.0.1 as Server and 3306 as Port.
My log has a bit over 20000 qsos.
I see "export" in the menu, but no where can I find import?

Is anyone successfully running this combination, with both radios running at the same time? I've been trying to get this working for over a week and at this point, I'm looking for help.
I'm running Ubuntu 26.04.
Hi!
When making develop tests with Alpha_142 version I noticed that there is a problem when using Online logs and UDPLog with GTK2 graphics version.
You may notice it as freezing upload status window (also upload halts), or even crash reports that may vary.
Usually having automatic upload, when qso is saved (upload one qso at time), this occurs seldom. If not at all.
But when uploading manually several qsos with same upload (upload all qsos) problem may arise.
Hello everyone,
Since version Alpha_135 (or earlier), when CQRLog is opened, the windows no longer retain the layout (position and size) they had during the previous session.
Could you please fix this bug?
Thanks,
