Hi, there!
I just installed openSuse 13.1.
I installed MySQL Community Server 5.6, uninstalling previously mariaDB.
But I can’t install and get to run properly, any workbench.
Can somebody tell me about a tool for openSuse 13.1 similar to MySQL-Workbench?
I made many diagrams with workbench and I’d like to continue using them.
Thank you very much.
What have you tried to install it?
Try this:
software.opensuse.org: Install package server:database / mysql-workbench
I tried with MySQL site (](http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/tools/workbench/)MySQL :: Download MySQL Workbench) for Fedora and RedHat platforms, but I can’t install it.
Also, I installed it from software.opensuse.org: -> openSUSE Factory -> official release, but I couldn’t connect to databases.
Thank you, for reply.
Why Factory? Why didn’t you take the package for 13.1 (from server:database, where I linked to as well) if that’s what you’re using?
And: is MySQL even running?
systemctl status mysql.service
Or check in YaST->System->Service Manager.
OK, you’re right. I’ll try with the package you sugest.
Thank you, very much.
I had the same problem, thanks for the solution.
I also used factory repo - and the explanation “why” is very simple. Always if i want to add some package that does not show up in my yast i go to software.opensuse.org and search for it there and do 1-click install
If You write “workbench” the main button for 1-click install is giving you the factory repo instead of 13.1
I think it’s a bug in the www
Not really, I think.
OK. Factory is shown on top of the list, but 13.1 is expanded by default here.
Btw, you can change for which openSUSE version to seach for in the settings:

I tried to install each package for 13.1, but I can’t resolve needed dependencies.
Thank you again.
Using Yast or zypper it should resolve dependencies for you.
But they can’t do it!
I wonder how others are installing then??
When I installed the version from server:database, it only required one additional package, which is also contained in server:database.
So add that repo to your system and the dependencies should get resolved automatically.
The easiest thing is to just click on the 1-click install on that search page, this will add the repo to your system and install mysql-workbench.
Since MySQL Workbench CE (GPL) 6.0.8 11354 build 833 on 13.1 64-bit gives a segmentation fault for me, I am using Squirrel (version 3.5.1) and am finding it to be a reasonable alternative.
