Re: [PLUG] Mythbuntu 12.04 to 14.04 upgrade?

[JP Vossen <jp@jpsdomain.org>]

I ended up going to 0.25 to 0.26 via PPA, running the client and making
sure stuff worked, then upgrading Mythbuntu itself from 12.04 to 14.04
and it all pretty much just worked on the server.

I have a minor media keyboard button issue on a Myth front-end machine,
but that's an Ubuntu/Unity problem, not a MythTV problem.
