[00:15] <kichigai> Hello all. I'm trying to upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04, but the network upgrade method leaves me in like a mid-version limbo because of some weird issues involving third party packages (I haven't added any repos, but I did enable the non-free stuff, like MP3).
[00:15] <kichigai> Is it possible to leapfrog from 12.04 to 14.04 using the install DVD?
[01:43] <tgm4883> kichigai: I usually recommend a backup/restore over an upgrade
[01:50] <kichigai> tgm4883, how do I do that? I read up on how to backup my databases, but does that preserve my recording schedules, recoding data, etc?
[01:51] <kichigai> My recording drives are external, so I'm not worried about that, but all the info about my recorded shows, etc.
[01:55] <tgm4883> kichigai: Should just need to: Backup the DB, install fresh, restore DB, and as long as the storage is mounted in the same location it should pick all that back up
[01:56] <tgm4883> kichigai: also backup any custom files you have (eg. lirc, etc)
[01:56] <kichigai> tgm4883, well, fortunately the only ones of thsoe I've messed with was my Samba config, so I think that ought to be pretty easy to recreate.
[01:57] <tgm4883> should be pretty easy then
[01:57] <tgm4883> kichigai: oh, and when you reinstall, make the hostname and IP address the same
[01:57] <tgm4883> save yourself some hastle there :)
[01:58] <kichigai> I've got an assigned address for this sucker on DHCP, so that ought to be hard to screw up ;)
[02:02] <kichigai> tgm4883, thanks for the help. That's exactly what I needed to know.
[13:11] <hR13> Hi all, I have just installed 14.04 on a new disk inorder to upgrade my old 10.04.3 system, but my novo t-500 cards dont load, and i cant find any modules for it to load... have I missed something ?
[13:24] <hR13> I had accidently got the card tinted, now its firmly attatched to the mobo and its visable :-)
[15:37] <gedakc> psusi:  Hi Phillip :)
