[mythtv-users] Moving database from non-bootable drive to fresh install

[Bruce Herrington]

I have Mythbuntu 14.01 AMD64 installed on a sdd. After it was up and
running, I added a 4TB drive for storage. Everything was running smoothly
untill I tried installing "Splashtop-Client" I ended up with broken and
held packages and no disk space. The following command was supposed to free
disk space.
CODE: SELECT ALL <https://forum.mythtv.org/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=1378#>dpkg
--list | grep linux-image | awk '{ print $2 }' | sort -V | sed -n '/'`uname
-r`'/q;p' | xargs sudo apt-get -y purge
I gained about 8 gig of space but could not find any images or kernel
headers left. I was afraid it wouldn't reboot so I tried reinstalling the
current kernel 3.16.67#87. That didn't work so I tried upgrading the Kernel
to 3.18 but it crashed during upgrade and would no longer boot. I installed
a new ssd and a fresh Mythbuntu 14.02. Both old and new have Mythtv 0.28
fixes installed. My question is, Is it possible to get the old database
onto the new drive making the recordings accessible? I haven't configured
the tuners yet, can that config be moved also?
