Not sure if this will help you or not, but I found that the upgrade also
lost the upstart scripts to automatically start mythtv-backend at boot-
up.
You'll know if they're missing if you can't run from the command line:
sudo service mythtv-backend start
I followed the website
Hi I think this is the same issue. However, when I try to run
'mythfrontend --service' I get this message:
This version of MythTV requires an updated database. (schema is 18 versions

Can you attach your /etc/mythtv/config.xml and /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt

Michael,
Actually, the issue is that your /etc/mythtv/config.xml didn't contain
the correct information (it probably does now though). As you can see in
this file
https://github.com/MythTV/packaging/blob/master/deb/debian/mythtv-
database.config
It looks for the correct information in that file
