Bug #32818	Query browser hangs when specifying default schema

Description:
I have seen this bug reported elsewhere, but nowhere do I find a good solution on how to fix it.

Here is my scenario:

I installed Fedora 8 and selected the option to also install mysql.

I got mysql up and running and if you use the command line client tool (mysql), everything works perfectly fine (creating db's, users, tables, etc.)

I have 3 computers on my network (1 is a vista machine, one is the fedora 8 machine that we are talking about, and the other is a fedora 5 machine).

The vista machine has the latest version of query browser installed and could connect to mysql on the fedora 5 machine perfectly fine, but hangs when trying to connect to the fedora 8 machine (can't even get connected)

When trying to access the db using query browser on the fedora 8 mahcine, it wants you to specify a default schema, but when you try to, it hangs indefinately.

I think this is a problem with mysql and not the browser tool since the browser tool has no problem connecting with the older versions.

How to repeat:
Fresh install of Fedora 8 and select mysql to also be installed during installation.

Sign in as root

yum install mysql-gui-tools.i386

Then run query browser.

Then try to specify default schema or try to connect to this db from a network machine.

Thank you for the bug report. Duplicate of bug: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=32037

So is there a fix for this yet?  The referenced bug does not give a solution.

Thanks

I opened this back up because it still seems as if there is a problem.  The only solution I was able to find was a patch that some people have posted that it does not work.

Is there another solution?

If the patch is the solution, how do you go about installing it on Fedora 8?

Thanks for your info

That bug #32037 is verified, that is, it is real, already know bug. But it is not fixed yet. Please, wait until Query Browser's developers will provide a fix or a good workaround. Then bug will be marked as "Closed".

There is no good immediate solution for this problem. But it does not mean that it should be reported again and again. Also, bugs database is for reporting problems, but not for demanding solutions and workarounds.
