Yet again I am reminded of why I don't like those little auto-update programs that run largely by themselves when you start X.
I had just installed Mythbuntu (not overly enamored of the *buntu family, but being specifically built for MythTV, it seemed easiest...) I made some configuration changes. It kept popping up with could not connect to backend. Rebooted. Continued and kept asking to configure the front end (step 1 and 2 of 2). Saw MySQL stopped working, couldn't get it started. I'd only been working on installing and configuring it for about 90 minutes so I figured installing again would be best. On the second try, I saw the updater (which I probably said fine, go update) had stopped in the middle of doing an update. Front end kept asking to be configured again. Might could have figured how to recover, but I installed Mythbuntu yet again. Did a command line update. The place where it hung before (which was on Samba, nothing directly to do with Myth or MySQL) asked about replacing or keeping the config file. This isn't the first time I've been bitten by such. I don't like those tools. You don't always know where they are in the update process. Also if there's an issue, or question, they don't report it and hang. Off my soap box now.
