SQL Workstation
How would I go about installing SQL workstation? I know bazzite is based off fedora and mysql has a rbm version but I haven't been able to get it to install. Maybe its not possible, if not thats ok, I would just really like to use it locally and not have to use a VM. I tried using boxbuddy to install the rpm file but it wouldn't show in the installed applications. So now I'm looking into VM options to figure out a way to get it working.

Are you trying to install MYSQL Workbench? I've never heard of SQL Workstation. Do you have a link?
Assuming that you trying to install MYSQL Workbench. This worked for me.
* I created an Ubuntu 24.04 distrobox in Boxbuddy
* I downloaded the .deb package for Ubuntu 24.04
* In the Ubuntu 24.04 distrobox I ran the following
* Then I can launch it from the UI from the application menu
Thanks for your help, I get this error:
try run
sudo apt update before you install it. I might have run that too
Also double check if you run cat /etc/os-release that you get "24.04.1 LTS (Noble Numbat)" in the outputit told me i have 5 packages to update how do I update them?
You don't need to, try the installer again
gotcha
I got 24.04.1 LTS (Noble Numbat) under the version name
Still got the same error
What is the name of the .deb file that you downloaded?
mysql-workbench-community_8.0.41-1ubuntu24.10_amd64.deb
https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/
You did exactly what I did the first time 😂 . You want the version for Ubuntu 24.04
ooh wait
I must have miss clicked my bad
damn
whenever i try to enter my local connection it crashes
just needed to add a password manually
@wolfyreload It's unable to connect to the MySQL server, do you know how to fix it?
I haven't worked with MySQL for a while but I seem to recall that you needed to change some settings if you want to allow access to it remotely. You might need to do something like this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14779104/how-to-allow-remote-connection-to-mysql#answer-14779244 in your settings in your MYSQL server for it to be accessible from another machine.
