[Resolved] Resolved: Mythconverg won't start after DB Upgrade to MariaDB

Post by paul-tancove »

I've just upgraded my Ubuntu 16.04 to 20.04 and still on mythtv 0.28 as having problems with Nvidia card. Software Updater ran this morning and installed MariaDB(?) and now the backend database will not start. Apparently, this was an upgrade from galera( who knew?). Best advice I found was to delete them both and re-install MariaDB. I deleted them and rebooted and then found out that I still have MYSQL 8.0 server and client installed as well but this isn't running either. Yesterday's logs show that MYSQL was loading, mentioning nothing about galera or Mariadb. Right from the 20.04 upgrade I was aware that mysql was being held back, presumably for mythtv 16.04. This has therefore come as a complete surprise and I'm not sure where to take this.
The journalctl log is

This issue is resolved, if that's the right word. I've overwritten Ubuntu 20.04 with 18.04, saving user data and settings, installed mythtv v30.0 and overwritten the database from the 0.28 database backup. I now have a working mythtv box again apart from:-
Only 2 tuners working out of 4
Can't use Nvidia card for vdpau
Mythtv won't use the HDMI CEC adapter

Still plenty to work on then.
