ubuntu 20,04.2.0 and cqrlog issues

Hi know I should have a handle on this by now. I have built a Linux Mint 20/Windows10 laptop for myself. Of course CQRLOG gave me the issue when opening CQRLOG the first time. It was the typical TMYSQL error opening. I fixed that one by opening the terminal and installing Mariadb server10.x and mariadb client 10.x. After that it was all good.

I then programmed up my Raspberry PI 400 and on that I installed the Ubuntu desktop from the Raspberry PI website. Again I had a little trouble but it worked out fine.
So I am putting together another dual boot laptop for a friend. Again it is a Windoes10/ Linux machine. This time I chose to install Ubuntu 20,04,2,0 Desktop.
I have mariadb installed and yet I still get this error "Error during connection to database TMSQL57 connection. Server connection failed." At the same time I get the second box that says "MYSQL could not be started, please check if the MYSQL server is installed properly. Please look at https://wwwcqrlogfaq. Here is the error file.

Looks like you are using mysql. You should be using MariaDB.
If you installed on a clean system, that should not have happened....
There should be no install issue's what so ever....

did you install by using these commands as stated on the download page? https://cqrlog.com/download

Ubuntu 18.04, 20.04, 20.10 and 21.04 users can use CQRLOG’s repository on Launchpad. To add repository to your system, put into terminal this:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ok2cqr/ppa;sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get install cqrlog

I use LinuxMint, which is a Ubuntu based, and this has been working for me for ages......

Good Luck,
73,
