A few days ago I upgraded through the Software Updater app to the "new"
16.04 release of Ubuntu. It took several hours
and I had to interact with the install several times. I didn't notice any
erors during the install, but I have several issues now.
The frontend and backend are running, although the backend didn't record a
few shows the first day or two, it is recording now.
When I try to access the backend remotely through the mythweb interface I
get a page which shows the error:
error string: !!NoTrans: You are missing a php extension for mysql
interaction. Please install php-mysqli or similar!!
filename: /usr/share/mythtv/mythweb/includes/php_version_check.php
If I run:
sudo apt-get install php-mysqli
or
sudo apt-get install php-mysql
I get:
dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting:
files list file for package 'sgml-data' is missing final newline
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
I have tried:
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt-get update
followed by
sudo apt-get upgrade
which returns the same error
sudo apt-get install --purge sgml-data
which returns the same error
and maybe a few others.
I was also getting a warning mentioning 50unattended-upgrades.ucf-old so I
moved it to a different folder from
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d and I don't get that warning anymore. 50unattended-
upgrades was one of the interactions
with the install process and I chose to use the developer (I think)
version during the install.
I also tried re-running Software Updater and it lists 8 updates but I get
an error when I try to install. The updates do include PHP bindings and
Python for Mythtv.
As you can probably tell I am not an Ubuntu/Myth expert, so I hope I have
provided enough info for someone to help me resolve this.
I love using my MythTV box, but times like this are frustrating.
Thanks,
Don
