</div>Personally I've given up on non LTS releases of Ubuntu and would install<br>
10.04. and not upgrade before 12.04.1, if at all. Then you enable the<br>
Mythbuntu repos and install 0.23, import your database and check if<br>
everything works. Then you run sudo dpkg-reconfigure myhtbuntu-repos to<br>
upgrade to 0.24.<br>
<br>
The advantage of LTS releases is, that there are more than one MythTV<br>
versions available for it in the repository, atm 0.23, 0.24, 0.24.1 and<br>
0.25.<br>
<br></blockquote></div><div><br>just as a note, and it depends how your going to export/import your data, but if Matt decides to go with a non LTS, then mythbuntu 11.10 does not have the backup/restore option in mythbuntu-control-center. That said, you can pull out the .sql.gz (i think thats the name), out of the tar.gz that myth-CC backup creates and restore it via command line rather than GUI.<br>
<br>i've been doing a bit of work on my mythtv setup and the backup/restore process is very straight forward, and in the past i've successfully migrated from 0.23 to 0.24 without issue (unbelievably easy - update to 0.24, run the FE, and it'll prompt to update the sql schema if required).<br>
it'd be worth getting your existing database as an offline copy though just incase things go wrong.<br><br>also note, that the backup will not get your recorded programs. you will have to manually move them yourself.<br>

<br></blockquote></div><br><br clear="all"><div>A quick note on backup/restore in MCC in 11.10, you need to install the mythbuntu-bare-client package. Also, if you are backing up in a previous version, verify that it actually backed up the database. There was a bug that prevented that in some earlier releases.</div>
