update it from the console (will revert upon reboot)
from the command line go to the mysql console
mysql
then edit the sql_mode entry
SET GLOBAL sql_mode=(SELECT REPLACE(@@sql_mode,'ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY',''));
SELECT @@sql_mode;
SELECT @@GLOBAL.sql_mode;
for a persistent change, in mysql 8 (ubuntu 20.04)
add
sql_mode = 'STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,NO_ZERO_DATE,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION'
to
/etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf
the default code is
sql_mode = 'ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY,STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,NO_ZERO_DATE,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION'
we'll just remove the only_full_group_by and restart mysql (service mysql restart)
sql_mode = 'STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,NO_ZERO_DATE,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION'
