NOTE - You should only do this if you grabbed and/or installed R4V4 before Cecil updated it with these packages tonight (2004.06.02). If I understood his announcemnet correctly, newer versions will already include these updates.

Start up a shell session (ssh or xterm) and logon as root.
Code:
mythbackup

DO NOT SKIP THE STEP ABOVE OR GIANT GREEN SLIME COVERED MONSTERS WILL EAT YOUR HEAD!!! ;-)

For the vi phobic...
Code:
cat <<EOF >>/etc/apt/sources.list

# KnoppMyth 0.15.1 patch debs
deb ftp://ftp.rdt1.org/From/KnoppMyth/updates ./
EOF

Upgrading live servers is usually a bad idea, as they might be doing something else at the time, like updating the DB. Safer to shut them down...
Code:
/etc/init.d/mythtv-backend stop
/etc/init.d/apache stop

Code:
apt-get update

Code:
apt-get install mythtv-i686-lirc mythmusic-i686 mythvideo-i686 mythnews mythweb

I saw some funky error messages here...
Quote:
E: /var/cache/apt/archives/mythmusic-i686_0.15.1-1_i386.deb not a valid DEB package.
E: Prior errors apply to /var/cache/apt/archives/mythmusic-i686_0.15.1-1_i386.deb
E: Prior errors apply to /var/cache/apt/archives/mythnews_0.15-2_i386.deb
E: Prior errors apply to /var/cache/apt/archives/mythtv-i686-lirc_0.15.1-1_i386.deb
E: Prior errors apply to /var/cache/apt/archives/mythvideo-i686_0.15.1-1_i386.deb

They seem harmless however...
Code:
/etc/init.d/mythtv-backend start
/etc/init.d/apache start
/etc/init.d/gdm restart

Quick, slick, and smooth as silk. As usual KnoppMyth rules! (As does Cecil!)
Note that I have an Athlon XP, so i686 is correct for me. YMMV. You may also want to use the other mirror to spread the load.

If you are upgrading an older system you may also need to change the database password from "q2dUSRDq" to "mythtv".

Corrected several minor oversights mentioned below... I actually did the stops, but missed them as I was scrolling back and forth through my command history to cut and paste them... :oops:

Thanks for the guide dude, but I think you need to issue a backend stop before doing the upgrade as per cesman's instructions in the 0.15.1 announcement.

Also, what about adding mythweb to that list?

Funny, I could swear I had the stop in there... I'll fix this write up tonight, when I've got access to the KnoppMyth box at home.

Stuff that's missing...

- Somewhere along the way we seem to have lost the KnoppMyth entry on the main menu again... Looks like I'll have to track down Cessman's message on fixing that agian too...

- I also lost my xine config in /home/mythtv/.lirc ... (Hmm... I seem to have spoken too soon. It was there, it just wasn't working to let me skip through the DVD start up trash for some reason...)

Neither one is hard to fix...
