[mythtv-users] Attempting upgrade, mythfrontend closing without upgrading

I am upgrading from 0.21 to 0.25, but have to go to 0.24 first.

I have to reinstall from scratch my mythtv backend box, as it is
running Ubuntu 7.04 and I am moving up to Mythbuntu 12.04.

My mythbackend is at 192.168.1.40
I have 2 VMs, one running 0.24 (192.168.1.102) and one running 0.25.

Michael Dean suggested I update the 0.24 mysql.txt file and point it
at my 0.21 database to upgrade it in place.
I have done this and ran mythtv-setup, which upgraded the database
successfully.  Repeated runs of mythtv-setup no longer prompts me that
I need to upgrade.

Now I am attempting to also update the schema by running 0.24 mythfrontend.

I have run:
mythfrontend -u -nw -l /var/log/mythtv/mythfrontend.log

This is what I am getting:

***

I don't see any messages indicating that it finished the database
ugprade (or I would just move on).


When I run the standard frontend:
mythfrontend  -l /var/log/mythtv/mythfrontend.log

I get a gray screen for a minute or 2 then it just closes, which is
why I tried the -u -nw above.

So it looks like the frontend is just seg faulting.

For the mysql.txt all I changed was:
DBHostName=192.168.1.40
DBPassword=***

My config.xml is:
<Configuration>
  <UPnP>
    <UDN>
      <MediaRenderer>b557472a-a4b8-4bd2-b0a6-62444cac784d</MediaRenderer>
    </UDN>
    <MythFrontend>
      <DefaultBackend>
        <DBHostName>192.168.1.40</DBHostName>
        <DBUserName>mythtv</DBUserName>
        <DBPassword>***</DBPassword>
        <DBName>mythconverg</DBName>
        <DBPort>0</DBPort>
      </DefaultBackend>
    </MythFrontend>
  </UPnP>
</Configuration>


Any suggestions for me?

TIA,
Dave
