Thanks for all your help, Bill. I figured nothing to lose to purge and
reinstall, and indeed that did fix it.
maybe it was that I edited it config.xml using sudo and could not be
accessed. It might have been I could have copied it over from another
working frontend.
Now several more problems to tackle, this has not been a smooth upgrade.
For the record, the working config.xml:
mythuser at mythuser-ZBOX-ID84:~/.mythtv$ cat config.xml
<Configuration>
<LocalHostName>my-unique-identifier-goes-here</LocalHostName>
<Database>
<PingHost>1</PingHost>
<Host>192.168.0.105</Host>
<UserName>mythtv</UserName>
<Password>mythtv</Password>
<DatabaseName>mythconverg</DatabaseName>
<Port>3306</Port>
</Database>
<WakeOnLAN>
<Enabled>0</Enabled>
<SQLReconnectWaitTime>0</SQLReconnectWaitTime>
<SQLConnectRetry>5</SQLConnectRetry>
<Command>echo 'WOLsqlServerCommand not set'</Command>
</WakeOnLAN>
<UPnP>
<UDN>
<MediaRenderer>bf65efbd-469f-4f8e-99a2-e2d4556f8fb6</MediaRenderer>
</UDN>
</UPnP>
</Configuration>
and this is close to what I started with:
mythuser at mythuser-ZBOX-ID84:~$ cat /home/mythtv/.mythtv/config.xml
<Configuration>
<Database>
<PingHost>1</PingHost>
<Host>192.168.0.105</Host>
<UserName>mythtv</UserName>
<Password>Tj4zOBwM</Password>
<DatabaseName>mythconverg</DatabaseName>
<Port>3306</Port>
</Database>
<WakeOnLAN>
<Enabled>0</Enabled>
<SQLReconnectWaitTime>0</SQLReconnectWaitTime>
<SQLConnectRetry>5</SQLConnectRetry>
<Command>echo 'WOLsqlServerCommand not set'</Command>
</WakeOnLAN>
</Configuration>
