I upgraded from Edgy to Feisty on Saturday, April 14, 2007 using update- manager (which worked very well until it encountered Myth), and ran into this problem on my previously functional MythTV setup. Now nothing will install via apt/adept without error messages. The most promising solution appeared to be, "sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database", but that presents its own problem. When running that command, I get an error message saying:
"/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: mythtv-database is broken or not fully installed" Prior to running that command, I had tried uninstalling and reinstalling mythtv-database and mythtv. Removal went okay, but reinstallation caused the root password problem to reappear. Since my web site runs on Wordpress and therefore requires MySQL, I have a pre-existing non- default root password. The mythtv-database installer does not appear to try acquiring the MySQL root password in any form, and so gets stuck. I am using 192.168.1.101 as the MySQL bind address since I want to allow my other networked MythTV front ends to connect to my server, and have allowed remote access to MySQL: grant all privileges on mythconverg.* to 'root'@'192.168.1.101' identified by '[my password]'; flush privileges; mythtv-database attempts to connect to MySQL without a root password in any event. -- Mythtv won't install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/41339 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
