I am running mythubuntu on the backend that is pretty recent

2:2.0.26+fixes.21030530.bfd2408-0ubuntu0mythbuntu1

(in fact i am about to upgrade that to fixes.20130616)

Do I need to do something separate to upgrade the database?

Also note earlier in the thread where I said I tried 0.25 and it told me 
that the protocol was wrong. I am pretty sure I have a completely up to 
date backend.

The other piece of evidence is the second pastebin, where I kill off the 
existing processes, and in its dying moments it does actually connect to 
the database with protocol 75.




The other question is WHY is it trying to back up the database? This 
frontend is supposed to be just a slave frontend and the database isn't 
local to it, yet it is acting like it is.

  I tried the very same command with the log on my linux box with a 
remote front end and the startup is pretty similar (except it just 
assumes QT Painter, and doesn't try OpenGL), but that doesn't try and 
backup the database, nor does it try and start mythlogserver
