[mythtv-users] help needed! NUC fan failed on mythtv backend/frontend

[James Abernathy]

I think I had the process correct.  But I have a question about mythconverg
passwords.

Does the restore process change the /etc/mythtv/config.xml password or does
it change the database to the password created on the new backend?

What I did was install Ubuntu 22.10 desktop on the RPI4 with the same
hostname as on the old failed mythtv-backend, then added the mythbuntu
repository for fixes/33.  Next I installed mariadb-server and then mythtv.
Once that was completed I ran mythtv-setup and added my user 'jim' to the
mythtv group and then I rebooted.

At this point I copied over all the old recordings and other files, then
did:

mythconverg_restore.pl --drop_database --create_database --filename
mythconverg-?????.sql.gz


I ran mythtv-setup and everything looked good and then I ran
mythfrontend and it worked.

However, I had written down the mythconverg password on the old system
before doing this and the new /etc/mythtv/config.xml passwords are
different. I can only assume mythconverg_restore.pl fixes all of this??
