here is what happened using the command with the path:

daryl at daryl-A780L3C:~$ /usr/share/mythtv/mythconverg_restore.pl
--change_hostname --old_hostname="daryl-A780L3C" --new_hostname="TriMyth"

Unable to connect to database.
           database: mythconverg
               host: localhost
           username: mythtv
To see the password used, please re-run the script with the --verbose
argument.

Please check your configuration files to verify the database connection
information is correct.  The files that are used to retrieve connection
information are prefixed with "parsing" in the "Parsing configuration files"
section of the --verbose output.

Also note that any [client] or [mysql] password specified in the MySQL
options
file (/etc/my.cnf or /etc/mysql/my.cnf or ~/.my.cnf) will take precedence
over
the password specified in the MythTV configuration files.

ERROR: Unable to connect to database.
