<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">Hi!</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">I’m having
problems with my installation of MythTV and don’t know what to do
next so turning to the experts. Have attempted three times and
things aren’t getting any better.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">The Basics:
Computer is a new build, Ubuntu 18.04.2, MythTV version 30. </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">Following the
installation instructions form the Wiki at
<a href="https://forum.mythtv.org/viewtopic.php?t=2788">https://forum.mythtv.org/viewtopic.php?t=2788</a>
plus guidance from Curtis Gedakc’s 14.04 Guide.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">Want to start with
a
Master Backend with Frontend so downloaded the ‘mythtv’ package.
(Actually on trial #3 downloaded that and then the separate
Backend,
Frontend, and MySQL packages should I have misread/misunderstood
the
contents of mythtv – nope, contains all the parts.)</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">Main problem seems
to be the database isn’t found. I’m guessing this is MySQL. I
have an old system (ppa: thing is 0.28) – displays that but the
new one is supposed to be 30 (no decimal) and not displayed.
Actually had two separate Backends (BE1, BE2), both running 0.28,
configured as separate systems; Frontends ‘see’ one or the other,
not both. The new Backend (BE3, the one I’m having problems with)
did see both of the 0.28 Backends (BE1, BE2) but never displayed
its
own. Mentioning this because somehow in my fiddling managed to
wipe
out BE1: the webpage for BE1 (192.168.0.13) indicated it was
trying
to find the system at 192.168.0.3 (BE3). Everything but the first
sentence is probably irrelevant but maybe means something – I have
no idea.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">So right now I
don’t
know what to do. The first install I was able to get to the
configuration screen and do the Backend configuration for the
tuner
cards, storage directories, etc., but then something went wrong
and
haven’t been able to get to that screen. LIS, seems to be an issue
with MySql, so did the –<font face="Liberation Mono, monospace">purge
remove</font> option (there are supposed to be two hypens). That
also removes MythTV. know the password changes to use the new
one….</p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">I apologize for the
confused writing but I’ll admit to being confused – no idea what
is wrong, Googling based on error messages, and potentially have
made
things worse. </p>
