Moving database from non-bootable drive to fresh install

Post by bhcv »

I have Mythbuntu 14.01 AMD64 installed on a sdd. After it was up and running, I added a 4TB drive for storage. Everything was running smoothly untill I tried installing "Splashtop-Client" I ended up with broken and held packages and no disk space. The following command was supposed to free disk space.

Code: Select all

dpkg --list | grep linux-image | awk '{ print $2 }' | sort -V | sed -n '/'`uname -r`'/q;p' | xargs sudo apt-get -y purge
I gained about 8 gig of space but could not find any images or kernel headers left. I was afraid it wouldn't reboot so I tried reinstalling the current kernel 3.16.67#87. That didn't work so I tried upgrading the Kernel to 3.18 but it crashed during upgrade and would no longer boot. I installed a new ssd and a fresh Mythbuntu 14.02. Both old and new have Mythtv 0.28 fixes installed. My question is, Is it possible to get the old database onto the new drive making the recordings accessible? I haven't configured the tuners yet, can that config be moved also?
