To do that, pick a time when you have a good amount of time between 
recordings.  I can't help you with the mythbuntu side of things, but as 
far as MythTV goes, you'll need to back up your database ( 
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Database_Backup_and_Restore ) before the 
upgrade.  Put the database backup somewhere where you're sure that it 
won't get lost or deleted by anything else.

Then, upgrade MythTV, start mythbackend, start mythfrontend, and test.  
Once you're done, shut down mythbackend and mythfrontend, and downgrade 
MythTV.

Then, drop the database, create a new one, and restore the pre-upgrade 
backup.  If you get the most-current version of the restore script ( 
http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/mythtv/programs/scripts/database/mythconverg_restore.pl?format=txt 
), the drop/create/restore is as simple as a single command:  
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Database_Backup_and_Restore#Replacing_an_existing_database 
.

Make sure you verify with Mythbuntu that you'll be able to downgrade 
MythTV nicely after you're done testing, though.
