[00:18] <SteveH0> Has anyone successfully restored a mythconverg_backup.pl ??.tgz file?  I need to understand WHERE to run the restore program.  I have tried from my home directory and in the /var/lib/mysql directory, and both tell me that they can't do it.  While we're at it, should I be running it as me or root?  Running ubuntu 12.04 as the server.
[00:40] <Kwisher> SteveH0: type the whole path to the executable
[00:41] <Kwisher> have you read this: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Database_Backup_and_Restore
[00:43] <Kwisher> on xubuntu it is located here: /usr/share/mythtv/mythconverg_backup.pl
[00:44] <Kwisher> if you are restoring you need to run mythconverg_restore.pl
[00:44] <Kwisher> read the wiki, i've been successful using it in the past
[01:03] <SteveH0> Sorry, I did use the complete path /usr/share/mythtv/mythconverg_backup.pl and /usr/share/mythtv/mythconverg_mythconverg_restore.pl.  I run the backup from my home directory as me, but when I try to run the restore, I get <http://pastebin.com/TKEPrZzn>.   Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?  I ran mc.sql after starting back.  This is to repair after a disk crash, and on a new disk.
[01:04] <SteveH0> My question is,if I run the backup from my home directory, should I also run the restore from there?  I read the wiki, but it is still muddy in my mind.
[05:23] <qwebirc75918> O.k. I am sooooo confused on how to proceed.
[05:24] <qwebirc75918> I want Mythtv .27, but do I really need .27? .25 is still the current version in the Ubuntu apt repository...
[05:25] <qwebirc75918> So to get .27 I downloaded Mythbuntu, but Mythbuntu installer will not run on my hardware. So I had to install Ubuntu Server ALT.
[05:27] <qwebirc75918> Now, should I just install .25 with apt, should I run  "sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mythbuntu/0.27" and install from the mythbuntu repo, or should I go all the way and install X and the mythbuntu control centre?
[05:42] <qwebirc75918> The MythTv website says that .25 is EoL, and .26 is end of support, but it also states that the easiest way to install and run is from a pre-configured package. (again, the pre-configured package would be .25)
[05:43] <qwebirc75918> Anyone have advice for me?
[06:12] <tgm4883> qwebirc75918, Just add the 0.27 repo, do an apt-get update and install mythtv
[06:12] <tgm4883> no need to install 0.25 first
[10:54] <hume> hi... I'm about to install mythbuntu on a client machine, where the server runs ubuntu 13.04. I am a bit confused by the versions - the latest mythbuntu is 12.04, but the latest ubuntu 13.10. Does this cause a problem?
