Installing MythTV for System 0 Upgrade to Ubuntu 18.10

January 2019

install Mythtv

for reference

I tried editing /etc/apt/sources.list 

$ diff sources.list-bak0 sources.list

from https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu/+archive/ubuntu/30.0 "This PPA does not contain any packages yet" UGH!!!

I restored sources.list 

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mythbuntu/30

that looks like it worked 

sudo apt-get install mythtv


a screen appeared titled "configuring mythtv-database" and asked "will other computers run MythTV?" I answered NO


Configure

bring over old files

from my old home directory: 

$ ls -a .mythtv/
3rdParty  Cache-mythfilldatabase-myth-bob  Cache-mythtv-setup-myth-bob  
config.xml       lircrc       MythGallery  MythVideo      RAOPKey.rsa  
themecache  thumbcache
backuprc  Cache-mythfrontend-myth-bob      channels                     
HardwareProfile  MythBrowser  MythMusic    pytmdb3.cache  remotecache  
themes      tmp
$ cp -pr .mythtv ~/.

for the purpose of testing my setup without damaging my existing recordings, I will not mount my 2TB storage disk. Instead, I'll just create the /storage directory locally: 

$ sudo mkdir /storage
$ sudo chmod a+rwx /storage


the mythtv group

I needed to add my user to the mythtv group - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV/Install/mythtv-group 

$ sudo usermod -a -G mythtv USERNAME

I tried to run the Mythtv Backend setup again, but it still complained that I was not a member of the mythtv group: "You must be a member of the mythtv group before starting any mythtv applications. Would you like to automatically be added to the group? (Note: sudo access required)". I answered "No" because I'm trying to do it, myself.

I checked: 

$ groups ME
ME : ME adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare mythtv
$ id
uid=1000(ME) gid=1000(ME) groups=1000(ME),4(adm),24(cdrom),27(sudo),30(dip),46(plugdev),120(lpadmin),128(sambashare)

maybe I need to log out and back in? I'll just reboot...

it worked, now I get 

$ groups ME
ME : ME adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare mythtv
$ id
uid=1000(ME gid=1000(ME) groups=1000(ME),4(adm),24(cdrom),27(sudo),30(dip),46(plugdev),120(lpadmin),128(sambashare),132(mythtv)

backend setup reported that it could not connect to the database. Somehow, it had the wrong password. I had to look in config.xml to find out the password to enter. Then, the backend setup GUI launched. I exited that because I want to try and restore from my old mythconverg database

I listed my old files: 

$ ls -Ftl --full-time recordings/mythcon*

using instructions at Database_Backup_and_Restore, I restored from the 9 Jan backup: 

$ /usr/share/mythtv/mythconverg_restore.pl --drop_database --create_database --directory=/media/troy/d70970b0-e22c-47ae-a9e0-5d9c637aa073/mythtv/recordings/ --filename=mythconverg-1317-20190109155034.sql.gz --verbose
....
Restored 4194 of 4194 lines.
Successfully restored backup.
Found DBSchemaVer: 1317.
Setting database character set.

now, let's run the backup setup GUI, again, to see if it looks like it really did it...
