Hmm I read through the comment history in the upstream bug you pointed to and I'm not convinced it is a problem in Ubuntu either because of the final two comments. Alex set it up in Linux Mint (which a previous comment correctly pointed out that it pulls the relevant packages from Ubuntu) and it worked just fine.
Could you try some of the suggestions the upstream developers recommended? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1892635 Title: mysql-direct-connector not working Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: After upgrading to (k)ubuntu 20.04.1, both with LibreOffice 6.4. and LibreOffice 7, mysql direct connector doesn't work any more (unlike in (k)ubuntu 18.04 and LO 6.0). Mysql (mariadb, installed with lampp) is perfectly working in browsers: I can see php+mysql pages in localhost, without any problem. But if I try to open a database odb connected with mysql I get an error message [code] Code: SQL Status: HY000 Error code: 2003 Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (111) /build/libreoffice-ron9it/libreoffice-7.0.0~rc3/connectivity/source/drivers/mysqlc/mysqlc_general.cxx:119 [/code] I believe that is a problem of mysql-connector provided with Ubuntu, in the past so useful (because LO extension are not working).
