MySQL Workbench on Ubuntu 16.04
I have upgraded Ubuntu from 15.10 to 16.04. I have installed mysql-workbench
and I am getting this error when I am launching it:
/usr/lib/mysql-workbench/mysql-workbench-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libgdkmm-2.4.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
What's wrong here?
Try to reinstall the mysql-workbench
.
To be sure you don't lose your connection data, copy following file: ~/.mysql/workbench/connections.xml
sudo apt-get remove mysql-workbench
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install mysql-workbench
Or do the following to clean up system (after upgrade to higher Ubuntu version):
sudo apt-get remove mysql-workbench
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get clean
Install workbench from official website (select the correct Ubuntu version).
For 18.04 and 19 Ubuntu download the deb file from MySQL Downloads
Before installing just downloaded mysql-workbench deb file, first download the libzip4 from this link and install the libzip4 using software installation
-
Run this command in your terminal
sudo apt --fix-broken install

Then run this command
sudo dpkg -i mysql-workbench-community_8.0.18-1ubuntu18.04_amd64.deb
Note: In case if you are unable to install you may require to download and install mysql-apt-config
