[21:26] <tgm4883> qwebirc96668: is this on Ubuntu with Unity?
[21:26] <qwebirc96668> yeah
[21:27] <qwebirc96668> here is the link http://pastebin.com/v7sgpGGb
[21:27] <tgm4883> hmm
[21:27] <tgm4883> qwebirc96668: try this
[21:27] <tgm4883> close mythbuntu-control-centre
[21:28] <tgm4883> in a terminal type
[21:28] <tgm4883> killall mcc-backend
[21:29] <qwebirc96668> it is now closed
[21:29] <tgm4883> and you did the killall command?
[21:29] <qwebirc96668> i had already force quit
[21:29] <tgm4883> mcc-backend is different, you need to run that command
[21:30] <qwebirc96668> mcc-backend: no process found
[21:30] <tgm4883> although I'm wondering if something got broken in the gnome version that ships with 15.04
[21:30] <tgm4883> oh, sudo that process
[21:30] <tgm4883> sudo killall mcc-backend
[21:31] <qwebirc96668> mcc-backend: no process found
[21:32] <tgm4883> ok
[21:32] <tgm4883> so lets try this again
[21:32] <tgm4883> mythbuntu-control-centre from the command l ine
[21:32] <tgm4883> and pastebin any error messages
[21:33] <qwebirc96668> its saying that primary backend is installed
[21:34] <qwebirc96668> when i click system roles
[21:38] <tgm4883> ok
[21:38] <tgm4883> in a terminal, do this
[21:38] <tgm4883> "dpkg -l | grep myth"
[21:38] <tgm4883> and pastebin the output
[21:40] <qwebirc96668> http://pastebin.com/NYM3YvNq
[21:42] <tgm4883> qwebirc96668: ok, so the master backend is installed
[21:42] <tgm4883> I would recommend switching to the update repo
[21:42] <tgm4883> there are a bunch of fixes in there, the mythtv you are running is pretty old
[21:42] <tgm4883> almost 1 year of fixes
[21:43] <qwebirc96668> i have installed front end and a few other things. i have paste bin those errors http://pastebin.com/X92tdCUy
[21:44] <tgm4883> ok
[21:45] <tgm4883> the frontend was also installed, I see it in the previous pastebin
[21:45] <tgm4883> it's possible all those errors are coming from -bare, but they appear to not stop it from installing
[21:45] <qwebirc96668> was it. i have tick all the repositories
[21:45] <tgm4883> try this
[21:46] <tgm4883> close mythbuntu-control-centre
[21:46] <tgm4883> from a terminal do
[21:46] <tgm4883> 'sudo apt-get remove mythbuntu-bare-client'
[21:46] <tgm4883> then try opening mythbuntu-control-centre again and seeing if you still get a bunch of errors
[21:47] <qwebirc96668> (standard_in) 1: syntax error /var/lib/dpkg/info/mythbuntu-bare-client.postrm: 11: [: Illegal number:
[21:48] <tgm4883> sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/mythbuntu-bare-client.postrm
[21:49] <qwebirc96668> no errors doing that
[21:50] <tgm4883> ok, lets try this
[21:50] <tgm4883> sudo apt-get -f install
[21:50] <tgm4883> and see what it wants to do before you say yes
[21:52] <qwebirc96668> 0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 8 not to upgrade.
[21:52] <tgm4883> ok
[21:52] <tgm4883> now how about
[21:52] <tgm4883> sudo apt-get remove mythbuntu-bare-client
[21:53] <qwebirc96668> Package 'mythbuntu-bare-client' is not installed, so not removed
[21:53] <tgm4883> ok cool
[21:53] <qwebirc96668> 0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 8 not to upgrade.
[21:53] <tgm4883> now start mythbuntu-control-centre
[21:53] <tgm4883> see if you still get a bunch of errors
[21:53] <qwebirc96668> from terminal
[21:54] <tgm4883> yea
[21:54] <qwebirc96668> mark@mythtv-backend:~$ mythbuntu-control-centre Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree        Reading state information... Done
[21:55] <tgm4883> ok, so far so good
[21:55] <tgm4883> make sure the 0.27 repos are enabled
[21:55] <qwebirc96668> that one is
[21:55] <qwebirc96668> and the other 2
[21:57] <tgm4883> ok
[21:57] <tgm4883> so to update the packages, you'll need to update as normal. So either update-manager or via apt-get update and apt-get upgrade
