    What I have done in the past on ubuntu based systems is:<br>
    <br>
    <br>
    Backup the database manually  and copy it to somewhere safe  (this
    is just for safety)  see

    <br>
    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mythbuntu/0.29<br>
    sudo apt update<br>
    sudo apt dist-upgrade<br>
    <br>
    then reboot the machine<br>

    repeat for any slave backends and frontends <br><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">
