That worked for me and I got into the database.

However, nuvexport still doesn't work.

I did:

user at mythtv:~$ locate mysql.txt
/etc/mythtv/mysql.txt
/home/user/.mythtv/mysql.txt
/home/mythtv/.mythtv/mysql.txt
/usr/share/mythtv/mysql.txt
/usr/share/mythtv/mysql.txt.dist
user at mythtv:~$

All these files had the same contents, so it does not seem like there is
a stray mysql.txt laying around with the wrong password in it.

They all read

DBHostName=localhost
DBUserName=mythtv
DBName=mythconverg
DBPassword=<realpassword>

with <realpassword> replaced by the real password that worked on the
mysql command line.

Still stuck!
