[mythtvnz] Mythbuntu fails to start

[Paul]

This morning I initially saw the same behaviour on both  the main system 
drive and the clone system drive, but after several reboots while I was 
retrieving some files with a live USB,  both system drives boot ok.

I have been getting myth frontend crash messages on startup in this 
install but they always restart instantly (there is no interruption in 
viewing).

And I saw a Mythwelcome crash today as well.


I have one further question: While I was trying to get this sorted I 
tried to do a DB restore on the cloned drive with the following command:

mythconverg_restore.pl --directory /home/mythtv --filename 
mythconverg-1214-20080626150513.sql.gz

With the appropriate changes for my setup.

I always got a command not found response. I tried from the home 
directory and cd into the /usr/share/mythtv directory and tried to run 
with sudo all with the same command not found response.

Can anyone tell me how to correct this?

It seems pointless to have DB backups if I can't restore them.

Cheers

Paul
