Yup. When you copy it passes the *numeric* value of userid and groupid. On your new system, this is <br>
likely different because, when the OS is installed, the system users may be created in a random order.<br>
<br>
This is why, when I do something like that, I create the "mythtv" group and user /before/ I install <br>
any mythtv components.<br>
<br>
It's too late for you, but next time:<br>
<br>
#groupadd -g 1006 mythtv<br>
#useradd -u 1006 -g 1006 -m -s /bin/bash mythtv<br>
<br>
I choose 1006 for those values. Yours may differ if you have other users. Syetem users start at 1, <br>
'proper' users start at 1000, which is usually allocated to the user you had to create when you <br>
installed the system. -m says create the user's directory under /home, which means that it should <br>
not get trashed if you get problems. System users go somewhere under /var. -s says use bash as the <br>
shell.<br>
<br>
Oh, if you need to, don't forget:<br>
<br>
#passwd mythtv<br>
<br>
To fix *your* problem, go to /home and enter, as root (or via sudo):<br>
<br>
chown -R mythtv:mythtv mythtv<br>
<br>
