<p>I think it's critical that this be documented somewhere
as doing it wrong is much worse than just installing
mythtv from scratch. Having a backup is good and
needed, but if a problem arises during an upgrade it
could take a lot of work to rebuild.<br>
</p>
<p>Techniques to do this have changed over the years. back
with going from 27 to 28, I did dist-upgrade as directed
and everything crashed and I had to quickly build a
fresh system and restore my data.</p>

<div>The steps you listed in your first email are what I
followed to upgrade on my 18.04 system and I had no issues.
That being said, I have followed pretty much the same
procedure since 0.22 and have had no issues, so you're
mileage may vary.</div>

<p>So here's what I did and it worked.</p>
<p>I made sure I have no updates available for anything first.
Then:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mythbuntu/30</li>
<li>sudo apt update</li>
<li>sudo apt upgrade</li>
</ul>
<p>Just for fun I tried sudo apt dist-upgrade and it yielded nothing
to upgrade. Same thing for sudo apt full-upgrade.</p>
<p>Everything seems to be okay. I can watch livetv and play
recordings. I also updated a frontend to v30 running on a Ubuntu
desktop and it worked. I also tested Kodi 18 RC5 on that ubuntu
desktop. All working.</p>
<p>The Shield TV version also worked with v30 just as it did with
v29.1. I have version v30-pre-983.<br>
