I'm using Freya for developing web apps in Ruby on Rails with MySQL and PostgreSQL.

The problem is when I install the MySQL Workbench: when I try to perform a query the result is a blank grid.

I'm using Emma for querying (because the console is useful for basic queries but not for complex work)

  • I am having the same problem, I've tried various versions of MySQL Workbench, but none is working properly. – user2523 Sep 24 '15 at 17:36
  • I've tried many solutions but they have not worked. I'm a software developer so this software is important when i have to work with big databases in my daily work. If there is no solution i will have to migrate to another distro. – Maximiliano García Sep 24 '15 at 17:44

After some many tries, i have make it work by doing this:

I'm using Elementary OS Freya 0.3.1

Linux 3.19.0-30-generic #34~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 2 22:09:39 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  1. Get the source from for 6.3.4 from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/file.php?id=457803. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE WITH OTHER VERSIONS IT DOES NOT WORK.
  2. Navigate to the directory you downloaded it to.
  3. tar xvf mysql-workbench-community-6.3.4-src.tar.gz
  4. cd mysql-workbench-community-6.3.4-src
  5. wget -O patch-glib.diff http://bugs.mysql.com/file.php?id=21874&bug_id=74147
  6. patch -p0 < patch-glib.diff
  7. sudo apt-get build-dep mysql-workbench
  8. sudo apt-get install libgdal-dev
  9. cd build
  10. cmake .. -DBUILD_CONFIG=mysql_release
  11. make
  12. sudo make install

  • Hi ounos, the bug still persist in that version. Any other solution? I've tried to compile it from source applying a "patch" but i have no results. – Maximiliano García Sep 24 '15 at 17:08
  • This does not work for me either.. However Maximiliano's answer helped me out.. – dhojgaard Oct 15 '15 at 7:06
  • Dependency is not satisfiable: libctemplate2 – daGo Sep 21 '17 at 11:22
