I downloaded the 32-bit 11.10 ISO file on Super Bowl evening (2-3-2013) from: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/mythbuntu/releases/11.10/release/
I used the Live-CD to try and update from Mythbuntu 11.04 to 11.10. (Booted from the CD, chose Install Mythbuntu, Chose Upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10) The SAME THING that was reported on 4-30-2012 happened to me last night: "What's happening is that the "Upgrade" the live CD offers doesn't maintain the MySQL database or the recordings that are stored in the default /var/lib/mysql and /var/lib/mythtv." That 11.10 32-bit ISO file was NEVER fixed. That ISO needs to be DELETED from the download folders and remade without this bug. How many other versions have this bug??

[Test Case] Install 11.10. Create some files under /var/lib/mysql/ and /var/lib/mythtv/ (doesn't matter exactly what). Use the live CD upgrade option to upgrade to 12.04 using an in-place install. Check that the files you created still exist. [Regression Potential] Limited to the upgrade option; this code is not used elsewhere. If that option still works otherwise then it should be fine. Original report follows: When using the live cd to upgrade, it wipes /var/lib/mythtv/* (presumably /var/*) meaning you lose the database and the default storage group locations To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/992241/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~linux-traipu Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~linux-traipu More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
