I’m now having problems with mythtv-setup not connecting to the database.  I’m following the instructions I documented in the following blog:

https://mythtvinstall.blogspot.com/2018/10/creating-mythtv-v29-frontendbackend-on.html

The first time I did this, no problems.  I complete started over again to verify things. Since I link /etc/mythtv/config.xml to $HOME/.mythtv/config.xml before I run mythtv-setup, I never had to look at the database password.

I ran mythtv-setup after setting up XMLTV json per the wiki as I’ve done before and documented.  I had no problems connecting then, but after I finished, I ran mythfilldatabase and it also bombed due to not connecting with the database.  I tried mythtv-setup again and this time it couldn’t connect.

It’s like I follow the same instructions, but it randomly fails.

when I run mythfilldatabase now I see this:
