Well, sometimes it goes smoothly, sometimes not. A few days ago,
I switched over my Ubuntu install of mythtv (Mythbuntu on top of
an Ubuntu setup) from the 0,24 repositories to the 0.25
repositories. After running the Update Manager, it suggested
that I do a 'partial upgrade'.
<br>
<br>
Most of the update went without a hitch, except for upgrading
the mythtv.cnf file. I got a message asking me if I wanted to
keep the current file or accept the changes. I've been stung by
this sort of thing before, so I cut and pasted the differences.
Here's what was displayed during the install:

I believe I told it to keep the current file. Here's the
contents of my mythtv.cnf file as it is today:
<br>
<br>
[mysqld]
<br>
bind-address=0.0.0.0
<br>
max_connections=100
<br>
<br>
The install then continued as normal and finished. Now the fun
begins :-)
<br>
<br>
I tried to run the frontend (on the same system) and a little
message at the bottom of the screen (gnome) kept popping up
saying that the frontend was restarting. This popped up every
few seconds, so it was in some sort of loop.
<br>
<br>
I rebooted and still had the same problem.
<br>
<br>
If I try to go to the backand setup, I get asked if I would like
to start the mythtv backend, which implys that the back end
isn't even running any more. I click on 'yes' and am then asked
if I would like to run mythfilldatabase. I click 'yes' again. At
no point am I taken into the backend setup screens.
<br>
<br>
If I try to go into the backend setup again, I get asked if I
want to run mythtv backend again etc etc.
<br>
<br>
I've just had a look at /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log and it
doesn't seem to have had an entry since 3rd May. The
/var/log/mythtv/mythfrontend.log file hasn't had an entry since
the 2nd May.
<br>
<br>
Where can I look for some information that could help to fix
this?
<br>
<br>
Thanks
<br>
Damian

Hi Jakommo, thanks for taking a look at this for me.<br>

you can check if the backend is runnig by issuing the following in
a terminal:
<br>
ps auxw | grep mythbackend
<br>
it should output something like this:
<br>
root@mythtv:~# ps auxw | grep mythbackend
<br>
mythtv 1065 7.9 2.7 422412 57036 ? Ssl 21:23 3:35

If you only get the line saying grep ... its not running, you
could then try to start it manually by running
<br>
sudo service mythbackend restart

"mythtv-setup" asks me if I want to run mythbackend. I click "Yes"
and it returns ...<br>

Then asks if I want to run mythfilldatabase.<br>

After that, "ps auxw | grep mythbackend" still returns ..<br>

Any idea what I can try next?<br>
