Hi
I install cqrlog on Fedora 43 recently and it can't access the mariadb to load or use the log on the machine and not online somewhere else.
Here is the recent log.
I started it up and the error showed up. I uninstalled through software app and updated the machine. I then installed cqrlog and still had a failure. I uninstalled this time using dnf remove and reinstalled using dnf install.
Same error.

Hi Chris!
Have you tried without "save log data to local machine"?
Using host 127.0.0.1 and port 3306
user cqrlog and password cqrlog
That does not work unless you first create mysql user and grant privileges:
sudo mysql
When you get mysql prompt type following lines (copy /paste):
CREATE USER IF NOT EXISTS 'cqrlog'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'cqrlog';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'cqrlog'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
QUIT;
-----------------------------------------------------
The other way is to check "save log data to local machine"
Then you do not need to define user and password and it should not say "'cqrlog001' user: 'cqrlog' host: '' (Got an error reading communication packets)"
because mysql connection is done via socket file ~/.config/cqrlog/database/sock that exist only when Cqrlog is running
Try to delete all ~/.config/cqrlog/database/ib_logfileX where X is any number. Delete also ~/.config/cqrlog/database/mysql.err
and try to start Cqrlog again
--------------------------------------------------
I'm running still F42 but I know a local user here using Fedora 43 and Cqrlog should be running ok, although he uses CqrlogAlpha 140.
You can not get it from repository, you have to install Cqrlog with dnf first and then upgrade it to CqrlogAlpha.
If you have no logs yet the easiest way to retry is to remove folder ~/.config/cqrlog/ No need to uninstall/install the Cqrlog itself.
Cleaning the folder makes clean start from scratch, but do not use it if you have worked qsos in log. All will be wiped.
