David,


I too was having issues with a fresh install. I have decided to try the 0.27 to 0.28 update then a 14.04 to 16.04 upgrade.


But I did notice a post on this list from Stephen Worthington that describes the changes  required to 16.04.1 setups, These are required due to the change from upstart too system (I think I have that correct). Do a search and you will find it


Stephens post worked for me also.  I posted my instructions online that contain Stephen Worthington’s instructions related to the network startup delays.

You are correct about the level of knowledge here, it is immense and readily passed on.

I am appreciative and in awe of the knowledge presented in this thread. I've been trying off and on for several weeks to do a fresh install of 0.28 on Ubuntu 16.04 with a combined fe/be system. I'm using networked tuners, HD Homerun and HD Prime, and I've noticed on both the cable and OTA side that when the system attempts to access a tuner the green light comes on momentarily then goes off. Is the likely culprit the "NetworkManager-wait-online. service" and if so would someone be so kind and to point me in the right direction to solve the problem. Thanks,

Dave

I have about 500GB of recorded TV on my mythbuntu 14.04 backend on version 0.27 of mythtv. I’m ready to upgrade to 0.28.

I’m trying to pick the best way.

I know I can use MCC and change the repository from 0.27 to 0.28 and do an upgrade in place (making sure I have a current backup of the database).  I could then do a "do release upgrade" and bring the OS to 16.04.

Is that better than doing a fresh install of mythbuntu 16.04.1??  I’m worrying about restoring the 0.27 database backup to 0.28 after I install 16.04 from scratch?  I have my recording on 2 separate disk that will not be erased by a fresh install.

Thoughts on how to do this right?
