How did you Fubar your database up in 4 days?

[ed mcguirk (emcguirk)]

I don't know, nothing really seems to be broken when the error messages
pop up. MythTV seems to run acceptably but random errors pop up when
running and almost always immediately after boot. I have always just
ignored them but for the past few months I have started to allow them to
auto-report problems.

After installing an SSD, I just did a clean install of Ubuntu 15.10
followed by a clean install of MythTV (which never really installs
cleanly). There's pretty much nothing but browsers and MythTV running on
this PC. I had no problems configuring MythTV once I got the MYSQL
password to stop failing and then after I figured out how to get the
back end service to start and also auto-start on boot. MythTV seems to
be running normally but I have always had problems with sporadic error
messages from MythTV going back years.

In the past I have played a little with MythWEB but not right now; other
than that I have always thought my MythTV setup was pretty vanilla
(single PC front and back end, HDhomerun tuners, EIT, and Blue Abstract
theme for OTA recording and playback only). I don't know why I get
errors and I don't know what effect those errors have on my system.
Whatever is failing seems to just restart and go about normal business
without any actions on my part.
