[mythtv-users] Fresh install, struggling to change imported db schema

[Damian]

Hello all,

Here's my story :-)

I've had MythTV running on Ubuntu (via the addition of Mythbuntu) for a 
few years. It's been fine for most of that time.

Upgrading to 0.25 broke things (it did a 'partial upgrade') and 
upgrading to Ubuntu 12.04 didn't fix them.

I then formatted the file system and home partitions and installed a 
pure Mythbuntu system. However, I came across the same problem I am 
about to describe below, and also wasn't keen on a couple of things 
about XFCE. So, yesterday I installed a fresh Ubuntu 12.04 system.

I have added the Mythbuntu packages and managed to import my old database.

The problem I'm having is when I click to launch the backend set up, I'm 
told:

"MythTV wants to upgrade your database for the TV schema, from 1276 to 
1299".

I click the relevant buttons to allow this, but it doesn't seem to work, 
as the next time I click on the back end set up it tells me the same thing.

If it helps at all, I'm also seeing this message inside pypmyadmin:

"connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed".

Any tips?

Thanks
Damian
