If you let it run farther in <br>any previous runs, it may have gotten into the middle of the upgrade, at <br>which killing mythfrontend may have done bad things. Remember that the <br>backend/mythtv-setup upgrades the TV schema. All plugin schemas are <br>upgraded by the plugins themselves, which run inside the frontend.<br><br>In other words, you need to look at more than the last line in the <br>log--2 lines before it said what was happening.<br><br>Nov 10 08:48:46 Master-Backend mythfrontend.real: mythfrontend[6935]: E <br>CoreContext dbutil.cpp:604 (DoBackup) Backing up database with script: <br>'/usr/share/mythtv/mythconverg_backup.pl'<br><br>So, you just need a bit more patience when upgrading versions, because <br>backing up the database takes quite a bit of time, even if the upgrades <br>go quickly (and they don't always).
