[ubuntu-mythtv] Mythbuntu 12.04 upgrade from 0.25-fixes to 0.26

[Marc Castles]

I had a similar problem and ended up reverting back to .25. My config.xml file seemed correct but the backend and frontend wouldn't connect.

Searching around I finally figured out it was with the mythtv-database post install script that was failing. I edited that and manually put in all the database connection, username and password information and re-ran the install of it, after several tries getting the syntax right that finally worked.

It said it was using the config.xml file for its information, but nearly all the fields were empty, and it also had the wrong password in it. I updated the password to the correct one from the ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt file and filled in all the empty fields (UserName, Host, DatabaseName), finally myth backend could run and connect to the database, and then it prompted me to updat the schema.
