Howto install CQRlog on a FRESH LinuxMint 20

Hello all,

I have seen a lot of people wanting to use LM20 (me included), and they are having problems to get it working...
There are a few issues....
- OK2CQR PPA does not support focal (yet)
- The CQRlog 2.4.0-3 package in the LM20 repository does NOT work due to mysql being automatically installed! You need mariadb

So.... how to install CQRlog that it will work on LM20........
Its quite simple to be honest.... just 2 commands in a shell...

sudo apt install mariadb-common mariadb-server mariadb-client
sudo apt install cqrlog

you will be asked for a password, and you will be asked to press y and enter

After this CQRlog should start normally!

greets
Alex

Howto install CQRlog on a FRESH LinuxMint 20

Hi all!,

On my github page i made an install script to install a working CQRlog on a Linux Mint 20 fresh install.
https://github.com/pa1sbm/LM20_CQRlog_Installer

after download, in the folder where the extracted files are, in a terminal , do:
sudo chmod +x LM20_CQRlog_Installer
sudo ./LM20_CQRlog_Installer

IT WILL REBOOT YOUR SYSTEM WHEN DONE... so close all befor you execute this !

Hi Alex!

Thanks for trying to make living easier for Mint users! It is very much appreciated. We need people like you to crate simple instructions to solve problems.

How ever wondering why to restart system?. Restarting system is the Windoze way to install. Linux normally can handle any change by restarting just fixed services.

Hi Saku,

The reboot is legacy from the script i used to make this one. It was an older script to install LM19 19.1/2/3
In that script i also did a complete build of Hamlib 3.3
As it also add the installing user to the dialout which only activates when you logout and login again, i made the decision to just reboot the system. Just to make sure all the new stuff was loaded correctly.

In this case , i forced logout would have been sufficient, i totally agree with you.....

I love linuxmint as much as i love CQRlog.... whenever there is a problem posted which I know how to fix, i always help.

Thank you guys for making this awesome software!

Here the same problem on Mint

Here the same problem on Mint 20.
The solution "sudo apt install mariadb-common mariadb-server mariadb-client
sudo apt install cqrlog "
from Alex works !!
Thank you, this works perfectly after making a full restart after this process.
Then start CQRLOG
