Post subject:  Debs Question (0.15 or 0.15.1?)

I downloaded and installed R4V4 via an iso I got from a mirror yesterday(6/7/2004). Do I now need to update my debs to version 0.15.1 per cecil’s posting at http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1612?? Or, does the latest R4V4 version contain the latest 0.15.1 debs and not the 0.15 debs? Everything looks the same in the GUI so I am assuming that I am still running the older debs. How can I tell what version I have with my R4V4 installation?

When I follow Cecil’s instructions I get a message about them already being the latest version? Is there a way to know for sure what version I have? In my mythFrontend GUI, in the system status section, it says I am running Myth Version 0.15.20040525-1. What does this mean with reguards to the debs version? Below is the output I get from my update attempt. Thanks.

root@mythtv:/etc/apt# apt-get install mythtv-i586-lirc mythmusic-i586 mythvideo-i586 mythnews

You should have the latest version if you downloaded anyutime after late on the 2nd. See tthis thread for details: http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1620
You can check what versions you have installed like this:
Code:
apt-show-versions | grep myth | sort

When I do that I get:

well if you want to update through apt-get then you will have to add the repository to your /etc/apt/sources.list file as described in a sticky post, if you are upgrading via iso you will need to do mythbackup then install from the cd using autoupgrade.

I've just tried the auto-upgrade but I can't get the restore to work properly.

Here's what I did :-

Ran mythbackup as root. (I got errors when I ran it as the mythtv user).
did tar cvjpf /myth/backup/mythtv.tar.bz2 /home/mythtv/.mythtv /etc/mythtv/modules as suggested in this post http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1293&highlight=cvjpf+myth+backup+mythtv+tar+bz2
Made a "ghost" of my /dev/hda1 partition just in case.
After the upgrade I ran install-nvidia.sh and then went through the install-i686-l process in the xterm window.

The database restore seems to fail as follows :-

2004-06-24 01:44:42 Upgrading to schema version 1047
DB Error (Performing database upgrade):
Query was:
ALTER TABLE record ADD COLUMN search INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT 0;
Driver error was [2/-1]:
QMYSQL3: Unable to execute query
Database error was:
Duplicate column name 'search'

Any idea what I have done wrong ?

After a lot of digging, I found I had got the username wrong during the upgrade, so the db would not connect, and my /myth directories were all the wrong user.

I have managed to recover my old install. I restored the ghost image, reconfigured lilo and restarted. Everything working as before except scheduling recordings.

Found I had three columns missing from the "record" table, so the sql scripts were failing. (these were recorddups, postroll, preroll) I added these using webmin and it seems to be working as before (Myth 0.14)

I have done another mythbackup, and compared the earlier backup with the latest, and these columns were missing from the original backup. Maybe this is another reason why it failed ?

Anyway, I'm going to try again using the new backup.
