E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/gnome-terminator/ppa/ubuntu bionic Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

So update complete, now install

E: Unable to locate package mysql-workbench-community
sean@sean-mcmahon:~$ 

I am following this guide. Any ideas why it cannot locate the package?

Answer 1

If you want to install Mysql Workbench Just run this command in terminal

sudo apt install mysql-workbench

You are good to go with Mysql Workbench

For Ubuntu 20.04 or higher version:

sudo snap install mysql-workbench-community

Happy Ubuntu!

Answer 2

snap install mysql-workbench-community

the problem that all snap packages are sanboxed and need to get permission to access local files & connect to DB.

Cannot connect MySQL Workbench to MySQL server

access files

or install dbeaver which is more stable.

Answer 3

First

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

Then

sudo apt install mysql-workbench
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  libreadline5 mariadb-common
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.
The following additional packages will be installed:
  gdal-data libaec0 libarmadillo8 ... etc.

So it looks like community should not have been in the install statement

Answer 4

At the time of my wrinting it seems that only a snap version is available:

sudo snap install mysql-workbench-community

Answer 5

This happened to me when using the native mysql repo which is there by default.

Rather, according to the same guide referred in question, download the .deb package from https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/repo/apt/

and then after installing using the instructions you can install workbench using

sudo apt-get install mysql-workbench-community

assuming you didn't touched the defaults in the installation.
