Hi all, new to Linux and new to group. Have installed CQRLOG from software manager within Mint-Cinnamon.? Opens with database error and will not go any further.? My goal is to make Linux my primary OS with Windows on separate drive and would like to have the logger available on Linux drive.? Thanks to mediators for letting me in the group and any tips/advice is welcome. 73,

Hi Mike,

?

If you are working on the CQRLOG version from the software manager, it is probably quite old.? I've always had problems getting it to work and that was related to the MySQL vs MariaDB thing. I do not believe there has been an official version of CQRLOG released in several years.? That said, OH1KH is maintaining an alpha version with a significant number of changes over the last official version.? Check out:

?

?

for details.? This also includes scripts for installs and updates that has made it pretty easy to get it up and running.? I have used both on my Mint Cinnamon 22 over the course of the last year or so.

?

Also, Saku, OH1KH, does monitor the CQRLOG forum on that web site and will respond to questions should you wish to stay with the official version.

?

HTH,

Hi Mike,

?

I was rereading the bit about the alpha binaries and it looks like you might have to conquer that database thing to get a working version before using the alpha stuff.

?

Per the notes I saved on my pc, I believe it was as simple as using apt instead of the software manager

?

sudo apt install cqrlog

?

then

?

sudo apt install mariadb-client mariadb-server

?

Make sure you are in the dialout group

?

sudo usermod -aG dialout (your user name here without parenthesis)

?

You probably have to logout and back in for the groups to take effect.?

?

That should probably get you going.

?

From there, I used it as it for a while as is and then used the update script for the alpha and have done a couple of updates now.? For mint, I believe it is the GTK2 version.

FYI

There is also in install script at

?

It is for Ubuntu but I guess that it would go also with Mint (not tested).
It does the job from beginning including MariaDB, no need to install any package versions of Cqrlog first.

Script installs first all dependencies and after that the latest official Cqrlog (the tgz file from cqrlog.com/download).
Then it offers direct update to CqrlogAlpha.
