I just landed up reinstalling as I had to replace a HDD*. I make regular backups of my mythconverg DB, and first tried restoring from there, but something went wonky. I then used a script that I found in the Myth documentation, which takes certain tables (the recording stuff) from a backup. I created a new DB, ran mythtv-setup and imported the recording tables. Everything looks good so far. Look at http://mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-23.html#ss23.7 for more. > > Can anybody give any advice? I am quietly crapping my pants ;) The quieter you can keep it, the happier I'll be :) Actually, let us know how the FC to Ubuntu conversion went. I chickened out of that; the GAF was already low after being Myth-less for a few days, and I thought I'd stick with what I knew worked. -- Peter * Not to start a HDD flame war, but you have to love the 5 year guarantee that Seagate has. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
