This is becoming very frustrating.<br>

I compeltely agree. I spend almost the whole weekend try to install MythTV on two virtual machines (I'm afraid to touch my "production" version) and I am still very confused.<span class=""><br>

I just did a clean install of Ubuntu<br>
14.04, again. I go to the Software Center to do a clean install of MythTV.<br>
I select MythTV Backend<br>

Why not mythtv?<br>
<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
and the install begins.<br>

I think you get better feedback about the installation process with aptitude or apt-get (but I'm a Debian man not familiar with Ubuntu Software Center)<span class=""><br>

The other fields are Ping Test - It is checked. Port: 3306. Database Name<br>

I guess you mean mythtv-setup<span class=""><br>

If I click on Next it takes me to Database screen 2. I click on Finish and<br>
it takes me right back to the Select Language screen. I have to cancel out<br>
as I am in a loop.<br>

This seems a 'standard' behavious when the connection to the database doesn't work.<span class=""><br>

This has happened to me before, this week where I did a Clean install of<br>
both OS and MythTV with the same scenario. When I first installed 14.04 and<br>
MythTV, a month ago, I had no problems with the install. Could there be<br>
changes in the Ubuntu Updates or in the MythTV Install that are causing<br>
these issues? By the way, I did the Clean install today. I was never asked<br>
to create an Admin password for the database.<br>
</blockquote>
<br></span>
Admin in mysql is called root, try to login as root<br>
<br>
mysql -uroot -p<br>
<br>
(you will be asked for a password which perhaps is empty)<br>
<br>
Try also mysql -umythtv -pmythtv<br>
<br>
I guess at this stage you would be refused.<br>
<br>
Then log again as root and do what I wrote already yesterday<br>
<br>
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'mythtv'@'localhost';<br>
<br>
Logout and try again<br>
<br>
mysql -umythtv -pmythtv<br>
<br>
I think this time you will be accepted.<br>
<br>
If yes, then probably mythtv-setup will start to work. If not, then we will just know more about the situation...<br>
<br>
Best regards and good luck<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>

Software center does not have a choice of MythTV, but rather MythTV Backend or MythTV Frontend. No matter which one you choose it installs both. I have not tried running mythtv-setup from Terminal. I have been selecting Backend from the list of applications and configuring that first. I then select Frontend and configure that. Unfortunately, lately, I don't get very far in the Backend configuration.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I will explore again later today.</div></div>
