MySQL Workbench cannot open on Mac - mysql

MySQL Workbench on Mac (10.14) opens only for a moment and closes immediately without any (visible) error message. Re-installing it does not solve the problem.
What can I do to fix this problem?

MySQLWorkbench need Python3.7 Framework in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions
brew install python#3.7
sudo cp -r /usr/local/Cellar/python#3.7/3.7.12/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7 /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions
open MySQLWorkbench, it's work

One solution worked with me:
System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> click “Open Anyway”.
And don't forget to unlock the Lock icon at the bottom left.

I solved downloading an older version of Workbench (8.0.20)

I faced this problem when my mac was updated to Monterey. I downloaded the workbench again from this link Official Mysql and installed it. I replaced the older workbench into my Applications and was able to retrieve servers i setup with the older workbench.
Cheers.

There are a couple of things potentially going on.
One is the Mac Security and Privacy control, addressed nicely by Mahmoud Mostafa in another answer.
But even once that's gotten around, there is the problem of where this app is looking for Python. Running Catalina 10.15.7, I used the terminal command suggested by Phil Nguyen and got a different error message:
Fatal Python error: initfsencoding: unable to load the file system codec, sys.path = ['/Applications/MySQLWorkbench.app/Contents/Resources/libraries', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python37.zip', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/lib-dynload']
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'encodings'
To my surprise, I saw that there was no Python.framework within /Library/Frameworks/ at all. I'd been using Anaconda, which installed Python under my user directory.
As I had also installed Xcode tools, I just made a symbolic link* within /Library/Frameworks/ pointing to the Python framework at
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Library/Frameworks/Python3.framework
and changed the name of the symbolic link to Python.framework. That provides a Python 3.7 instead of forcing things back to Python 2 or using an old version of Workbench. Worked for me; YMMV.
*This needs to be a symbolic link made by ln -s in a Terminal window and not a Finder-generated alias. Working in /Library/Frameworks/ will require sudo.

I had the same issue as above. Downloading the older version from archives resolved the issue.

macOS Monterey, using version ( 8.0.29 ) solved the issue

Open your terminal and type:
/Applications/MySQLWorkbench.app/Contents/MacOS/MySQLWorkbench --verbose
if your terminal said:
Your PYTHONPATH points to a site-packages dir for Python 3.x but you are running Python 2.x!
PYTHONPATH is currently: ":/Applications/MySQLWorkbench.app/Contents/Resources/libraries"
You should `unset PYTHONPATH` to fix this.
Type this:
export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/

If you are using macOS 10.15 or lesser version just switch to older version of workbench(8.0.11), which is the stabile version and compatible with macOS 10.15 or lesser version. For download Click here

I upgraded the OS and I faced the issue with the Workbench. It was not loading. So, I downloaded it and installed it again. I got an option to keep both or replace them. I choose to Replace. This resolved the loading issue. Now, it's opening.

Try running the following command in your terminal, to remove the app from quarantine:
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /path/to/MySQLWorkbench.app
Note that the default path is /Applications, i.e., the default filename is /Applications/MySQLWorkbench.app

I just installed newer version and it automatically replaced the old version and it worked!

/Applications/MySQLWorkbench.app/Contents/MacOS/MySQLWorkbench --verbose
I opened with this command once and it after that it started opening normally.
PS I have python 3.7 installed

I also have faced a similar problem after upgrading MAC OS To Monterey,
The solution worked just upgrade your MySQL Workbench 8.0.30.

ERROR:gpu_memory_buffer_support_x11.cc(44)] dri3 extension not supported

I'm trying to open google chrome from terminal in Ubuntu but after submiting google-chrome I'm getting this error:
ERROR:gpu_memory_buffer_support_x11.cc(44)] dri3 extension not supported
I've installed it by following this tutorial: https://itsfoss.com/install-chrome-ubuntu/
I've looked at this but it didn't help me How to open google chrome from terminal?
Does anyone know how I can solve this issue?
Thanks!
I just ran
sudo apt list --upgradable
Chrome was one of the upgradable list, then ran the command
sudo apt upgrade
I had the same problem, updating the GPU drivers resolved the problem.
I installed Chromium via Snap instead (sudo snap install chromium). I get the same error message, but the browser appears to be running correctly anyway. I'd still like to know what it means and how to fix it....

Hysplit not working with Mac OS update to Monterey

I updated to Monterey last week and since then my Hysplit GUI is not displaying properly. it is not an issue with my laptop's display (I have changed and inverted the colours). I have attached screenshots of what it usually looks like and what it looks like now.
I think that this is an issue with Wish - which runs .tcl files. The Hysplit GUI is built on .tcl files. I have attached screenshots of what one of the examples from Wish are showing up as. I have tried to update/figure out what is wrong with Wish but I am limited in my understanding of how it works.
Thanks for the help.
Now:
Before:
Example Wish application:
It seems that the Tcl/Tk version (8.5) shipped with macOS Monterey is broken.
A possible fix:
use the version shipped with Homewrew
Assuming Homebrew is already setup, do:
$ brew upgrade
$ brew install tcl-tk
Then setup a link to the new version of wish:
$ cd /usr/local/bin
$ ln -s ../Cellar/tcl-tk/8.6.12/bin/wish wish
# Eventually replace 8.6.12 with the version exposed by:
$ brew info tcl-tk
Restart your terminal and all wish-based utilities should work well!

Unable to install MySQL on Windows 10 - Installer hangs indefinitely

I am trying to install MySQL on a Windows 10 PC. I downloaded the installer package and followed those steps
Went to https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/
clicked on "MySQL Installer"
Scrolled to Generally Available(GA) Releases section
Clicked on "Windows (x86, 32-bit), MSI Installer" (mysql-installer-community-5.7.21.0.msi) and it started the download.
Once the download was complete, I double clicked on the installer and it gave a usual pop-up for any installation like,"Do you want this app to make changes to your device?" after clicking on "yes" for the answer to this question, it shows "Please wait while Windows configures MySQL-Installer-community" like below screenshot.
And then it keeps showing this installation progress bar for a very long time. Like more than 7-8 hours and the installation never completes
So it seems something is wrong as I don't think MySQL installation needs this long time. I tried to restart my computer and then delete any files related to MySQL from my computer and then started the whole process of installation again. But no luck yet
Anyone has any suggestion on this or did anyone face this kind of issue before? If so, is there a fix or a work around for this?
ok. So finally this is how I resolved my issue. And I found the solution at https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=82004 . The solution to this problem is to close an open "Windows installer" (the one using 0 memory and CPU) via task manager and the installation should begin running as expected.
Alternative solution: Use an administrator command prompt to run the MySQL installer on Windows 10. Details:
(Note: if you have any problems in the following steps, you can try to restart your computer. Then restart the steps.)
Right-click the Start/Windows icon in the bottom-left corner of Windows.
Click: Windows PowerShell (Admin).
A window asks: Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device? Click: Yes.
Change to the directory with the MySQL installer. For example, if you downloaded the MySQL installer, type something like:
cd C:\Users\my_username\Downloads\
(Note: To save some typing, you can type a few characters, and then press the tab key, to make Windows show you various auto-completion options.)
Run the MySQL installer. Type something like the following command---make sure to include the period and backslash at the beginning---and press Enter.
.\mysql-installer-community-8.0.11.0.msi
Note: The idea of using an administrator command prompt came from John Geffe, in the link below, which was cited in the answer written by the original poster (user8425592):
https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=82004
Bug #82004 MySQL Installer freezes during "Please wait while Windows configures..." phase
[6 Feb 3:58] John Geffe
To get past this problem I had to run the .msi installer from an the
Administrator command prompt. Hopefully this helps someone in the
future.
[19 Apr 18:14] Jim McCauley
John Geffe: Thanks! Your note on installing as an administrator seems
to have taken care of the problem.
this did the trick for me: https://ao.ms/mysql-community-server-msi-installer-hangs-on-windows-10/
run cmd (commandline) as Administrator
cd to your location that you downloaded the .MSI to
run the “msiexec” commandline tool with option “/i” as follows:
msiexec /i [replace with file name]
example: msiexec /i mysql-installer-community-5.7.20.0.msi
Another thing that worked for me was running the installer in compatibility mode for previous version of Windows. You can try that as well.
Go to the link you provided (the first one) and try installing MySql Workbench. That is the version that is commonly used, and one that I verified works in Windows 10. Here is the link: https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/
Obviously, make sure you choose the right architecture, have the correct permissions to install software, and have enough space on your hard drive, or on the machine you are installing to.
Please install "Update for Visual C++ 2013 and Visual C++ Redistributable Package" from Microsoft Site "http://download.microsoft.com/download/0/5/6/056DCDA9-D667-4E27-8001-8A0C6971D6B1/vcredist_x64.exe"
Please look here at https://support.microsoft.com/en-in/help/3179560/update-for-visual-c-2013-and-visual-c-redistributable-package
Yes, I also got the same problem on my Windows 10.
Followed the Powershell solution and it worked.
Just repeat the above:
Click Start on bottom left corner
Scroll down the application list until Windows Powershell
Select Windows Powershell again on sub-menu
Type in cd (to change to your .msi folder)
Type .\xxxxx.msi (this is the installer file name)
All good.
Once you install the above package run the installer again and do the steps. You will be able to install the mysql-installer-community-5.7.21.0 for 64 bit windows 10
closing Windows Installer instances using 0 memory and CPU helps me to get past this problem.
For me on Window-10 machine, there was a problem with the "mysql-connector-net-8.0.11.msi". I was not able to uninstall this and hence all my subsequent efforts to install MySQL were failing. I did the following to overcome this issue.
Re-installed "mysql-connector-net-8.0.11.msi" Get it here and used the 'Repair' option
Installed the "mysql-installer-web-community-8.0.11.0.msi"
These two things solved my problem. Hope this helps.
The reson is your antivirus didn't allow the mysql, so Disable protection(until restart),( in your task bar right side click the arrow and right click to antivirus,to select (Disable protection(until restart)).then restart your computer again install mysql installer it will work.
For this issue just run .msi file in command administration like
E:\mysql-installer-community-8.0.20.0.msi\
follow this link:
https://kb.foxitsoftware.com/hc/en-us/articles/360040660611-How-to-install-MSI-from-command-line-with-administrator
In my case, an upgrade to 5.7.29 on Windows 10 via mysql-installer-web-community-8.0.20.0.msi, the install froze "backing up the database". The log tab showed no activity for 8 minutes. I clicked on cancel, then at the "are you sure" prompt I declined to cancel, and all of a sudden the install was working again. Very strange...
I encountered the same problem, preparing but can never get started. Tried to close other installation programs with no use, but I took the inspiration and proceeded with restart the computer and it worked nicely. So, I think the issue is to get rid of everything that could be in the background running that somehow interferes the installation.
You should run the installer as an administrator but this specific installation may not provide an option for this. Some might have it but it's most likely that it's unavailable for many users. So you should run it in cmd or powershell. And don't forget to run these shells as an administrator coz that's the whole point here. Once there, navigate to the installer's location which usually is in the downloads directory and run it using this command ./name.msi
Make sure no other ongoing installation of this instance. Close it if there exists one and undo the changes made by uninstalling it from the panel. If still facing difficulties, try restarting your machine and repeat this procedure...
Have fun
I had the same Problem, A simple solution is to give access the "SYSTEM" to the msiserver...I know, this is hard to understand what I am saying....You can Simply see this Video and you will definitely find the answer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SdXMjXmnUk, It is a matter of just 3 minutes...
I encountered the same issue of taking too much time to install mysql community installer.I tried 3 times by cancelling the installation and restarting to perform a new installation.But had same issue. I tried 2 things
First to end all tasks associated with installation which I performed for installing mysql using Task Manager
Reinitiated the installation but didn't solved my issue.
Secondly tried to install through Windows Powershell as admin, which solved the problem.
Click on the Windows icon/start on the bottom left corner.
Right click and select the option Windows Powershell (Admin).
A pop up window will ask Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?....Click Yes.
Now cd to your downloads folder/wherever you downloaded the .msi file (For example cd C:\Users\MYPC\Downloads).
Once you reach to the folder where the .msi file is kept, run the following command.
.\mysql-installer-web-community-8.0.23.0.msi (Note: this is the version which I have downloaded, modify as your version).

PhpStorm is not starting up

I just downloaded PhpStorm 5 on my quite fresh ubuntu.
During the first start I installed a couple of plug-ins.
Now - after the installation of those plug-ins - PhpStorm is not starting up anymore.
No splash screen is showing up. No error gets written on the terminal:
gue#ubuntu:~$ phpstorm
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.7-b01, mixed mode)
gue#ubuntu:~$
What shall I do with that drunken sailor?
I can't find any logfiles, no configuration file/directory in my home directory.
Since I'm used to Eclipse I've no clue where to look for a trace in this IntelliJ derivate...
If you're on Windows deleting the following directory helped me:
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\JetBrains\
Some plug-ins can cause problems and prevent IDE from starting, if it happens, you should delete the directory containing plug-in manually. Location of this directory depends on the system and product, details are available in the FAQ.
For PhpStorm on Linux it would be ~/.WebIde50/config/plugins.
This happend to me too, I had created a custom vmoptions file, and entered incorrect values. I fixed it by deleting it in ~/.WebIde50/phpstorm.vmoptions
i had the same problem , i fixed it just with removing the file C:\Users\.PhpStorm2016.2
In linux, I fixed it by deleting vmoptions file of PhpStorm and then launching it again:
mv ~/.config/JetBrains/PhpStorm*/phpstorm64.vmoptions ~/.config/JetBrains/PhpStorm*/__phpstorm64.vmoptions
It might be possible if openjdk is installed then phpstorm not opened.
So remove first then follow steps that given in below link.
I solve the problem same way.
wiki.jetbrains.net/intellij/Installing_and_running_PHPStorm_on_Ubuntu
Here is how you fix this: Rename C:\Users\USERNAME.PhpStorm2016.3 to something else (anything, like PhpStorm2016.whatever) , it will start the program if you click on the phpStorm icon, then choose to import settings, and you're good to go ;)
I am using PhpStorm2020.2.1. I referred to Configuration directory. I accessed the folder %AppData%\JetBrains\PhpStorm2020.2, renamed it just in case I may need some files in future.
Voila! I can start my PhpStorm2020.2.1 again!
I had this problem yesterday and my OS is windows 10. phpStorm suddenly did not work and when I click on it nothing happened. I just downloaded JDK from this link (https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-downloads.html) and after installation, I set the environment value in the system setting for my java directory. You can use this link to set the environment (https://javatutorial.net/set-java-home-windows-10)
For me I had to remove all cache for the IDE located in:
~/.cache/JetBrains/
I have changed the VMOptions under the Help menu on MacOS and it just would not start up again. It just silently failed every time. I found the file at /Applications/PhpStorm.app/Contents/MacOS/phpstorm and ran it in the terminal, which gave me an output with the following error:
Invalid ReservedCodeCacheSize=3072M. Must be at most 2048M.
Luckily, it also gave me the path to the VMOptions file in one of the rows of the output, parseVMOptions: /Users/barnabas/Library/Application Support/JetBrains/PhpStorm2022.3/phpstorm.vmoptions in my case, so I could change it back to a valid configuration. Crisis averted.
Simple
Go to your task manager
end any task on php-storm
and restart the ide again
it will work
Open Terminal Linux Ubuntu 20.10
YOU#USER:~$ cd ~/.config
YOU#USER:~/.config$ ls
Obs: Locate the >>> JetBrains <<< folder, after that delete it your default app settings will disappear more it will open again
YOU#USER:~/.config$ sudo rm -rf JetBrains/
Open PHPSTORM

CLSQL and MYSQL on OS X

I'm working on OS X 10.6.4. I've been using clbuild to install supporting libraries for SBCL (including clsql), and I do all my work through Aquamacs. I installed MySQL using the excellent instructions over at Hive Logic. But when I call (require 'clsql) -- which seems to work fine -- and then try to execute (clsql:connect '(nil "lisp" "root" "") :database-type :mysql) to connect to my local running database, I get this error message:
erred while invoking #<COMPILE-OP (:VERBOSE NIL) {12096109}> on
#<CLSQL-MYSQL-SOURCE-FILE "clsql_mysql" {1208E071}>
[Condition of type ASDF:OPERATION-ERROR]
From my research of this problem, I think it comes from me not having a compiled version of the libmysqlclient.dylib file, of which I have a copy in /usr/local/mysql/lib/, but I'm not clear on how to go about compiling it. This forum post seems to say that's exactly what I need to do, but there's no make file in that directory.
Nowadays, you should use homebrew for MySQL installation on Snow Leopard. Homebrew installs MySQL 5.5.10 which doesn't have the compiler problem that 5.5.8 had (AFAIK).
I would guess you can download mysql-5.5.8-osx10.6-x86_64.dmg from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/#downloads
I would expect that to include the precompiled client libs. I haven't tried it though.
If it really doesn't have the precompiled client libs, you'll probably need to download the MySQL source code from the same place (select "Source Code" from the "Select Platform" dropdown box) and compile it. Even though the description says "Generic Linux" I think mysql-5.5.8.tar.gz should work.
Having previously installed MySQL 5.0 on Leopard, I am sure it came with the client libs, but of course something could have changed. It just seems unlikely they would not provide them.
EDIT:
After installing the version for OS X 10.5, this is what I find in terms of client libs:
/usr/local/mysql-5.5.8-osx10.5-x86_64/lib/libmysqlclient.16.dylib
/usr/local/mysql-5.5.8-osx10.5-x86_64/lib/libmysqlclient.a
/usr/local/mysql-5.5.8-osx10.5-x86_64/lib/libmysqlclient.dylib
/usr/local/mysql-5.5.8-osx10.5-x86_64/lib/libmysqlclient_r.16.dylib
/usr/local/mysql-5.5.8-osx10.5-x86_64/lib/libmysqlclient_r.a
/usr/local/mysql-5.5.8-osx10.5-x86_64/lib/libmysqlclient_r.dylib
so they are indeed installed along with the server.
