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 Charles!
Seem to be same problem that Joe, N0NOW, has. ( https://www.cqrlog.com/node/6159 ).
When we get a solution for that it perhaps helps you too.
I am a Fedora user myself. Perhaps I need to install latest "buntu" to virtual machine to see what there is wrong.

Hallo Saku,
using Debian testing, I also observed the problem of cqrlog not starting anymore after an upgrade on Tuesday (June 2nd) after some weeks having done no upgrade but enjoying a good working cqrlog installation.
A closer look showed, that apparmor denied the access to the mysql.cnf within the cqrlog database directory. The reason was, that the apparmor profile file seems to be have changed from /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mariadbd to /etc/apparmor.d/mariadbd but there was not exemption file in /etc/apparmor.d/local/ for mariadb containing the configuration for local access to the cqrlog directory.
After setting up a /etc/apparmor.d/local/mariadbd with the content
# Site-specific additions and overrides for usr.sbin.mysqld.
# For more details, please see /etc/apparmor.d/local/README.
@{HOME}/.config/cqrlog/database/ r,
@{HOME}/.config/cqrlog/database/** rwk,
@{HOME}/.config/cqrlog-2.5/database/ r,
@{HOME}/.config/cqrlog-2.5/database/** rwk,
and restarting apparmor with
sudo systemctl reload apparmor, everything now works again.I hope, this information can help anyone, who also stuck in cqrlog not starting anymore after a recent upgrade and have difficulties finding the reason.
If you have contact to the Debian package maintainer for cqrlog, this seems to be a hint for preventing this problem in upcoming upgrades or fresh installations.
Best regards

HI Frank!
Just wrote a message:
https://www.cqrlog.com/comment/13482#comment-13482
But you resolved the main problem!
Thanks!
I was also editing /etc/apparmor.d/local/mariadbd file but without further knowledge of Debian based systems I did not succeed.
Well, I was on the right track anyway...

Tested and works!
it seems that I only missed on line with my edit
@{HOME}/.config/cqrlog/database/** rwk,
I think those cqrlog-2.5/database lines are not needed if only base install has been made.
