Hoi Daryl,

I do not know the precise workings of tv_grab_zz_sdjson.

My guess would be that the uid for the user you use on the two
installations do not match or that that user is missing a group
membership. You should have to compare them.
Also I notice that the sqlite database only has read permissions, so
unless it is as-is downloaded, no data could be added to that
database. However if it is in there it could be extracted.

Anyhow there is a permissions problem.

There are no write permissions for /anyone/ here, although root of course has the ability to do
almost anything. Again:

You're running this as aryl but again there are no write permissions on the file at all, only read
and execute.

Does your mythtv system run from aryl normally? If so, change the ownership and permissions as
follows (and as root or using sudo):

$HOME/.mythtv#chown -R aryl:aryl *
$HOME/.mythtv#chmod -R ugo+rwx *

The -R propagates the ownership/permissions down any lower level directories.

If you do /not/ normally run as aryl, then adjust the 'chown' as appropriate.

No, you were (correctly) running as user mythtv and it
has r/w permission.

When you did this:

daryl@trieli:~$ sudo chown -R mythtv:mythtv /home/daryl/.mythtv

You made the owner:group of *ALL* user daryl's directories/files
mythtv:mythtv. You didn't want to do that (Mike's warning was
spot on, as you were running as user mythtv.)

Hang on for a sec before making any more changes.

What is the full path of ~mythtv/.mythtv above?

If you: sudo -u mythtv bash

Can you access the directory above and create files there, e.g.: touch a &&
rm a

I suspect the files are under your own user home directory and the
permissions on that are likely 0700 or 0770.

Cheers, Ian

That looks like the 20.04 system was mounted while on the 22.04 system and
the user names and group names are from your 22.04 /etc/{password,group}
files.

Did you use: chown -R mythtv:mythtv ~mythtv on your 22.04 system?

OK, then that makes Hika's original response to this thread correct.

The files above were likely had owner:group gdm:lxd . That means
everything that was owned by mythtv on the 20.04 system is now
wrong. That includes recordings/banners/fanart/very long list.

What do these return:

sudo find / -user lxd -ls 2>/dev/null | wc
sudo find / -user lxd -ls 2>/dev/null

The output from the 1st command and just a few lines from
the 2nd are all that are needed.

Based on that, some suggestions can be made.

I'm not familiar with tv_grab_zz_sdjson_sqlite, but can offer comments that may help.

First, the path shown is /home/mythtv/.xmltv, while your ls output is for /home/mythtv/.mythtv.  So, we can't see the permissions on .xmltv or even if it exists.  Check that /home/mythtv/.xmltv exists and is, at least, permission 0750 (rwxr-x---).

Second, the specific error looks odd:

Unable to create parent directory for intenna: mkdir .: Permission denied

Reading this literally, it is trying to make the current directory, which will almost certainly fail. Look at the indicated script line (4397) and see where the argument to mkdir originates. This may provide some insight into the failure.

I'll try again, with the right user name gdm not lxd and add a check
for group lxd:

sudo find / -user gdm 2>/dev/null | wc
sudo find / -user gdm 2>/dev/null | tail -5
sudo find / -group lxd 2>/dev/null | wc
sudo find / -group lxd 2>/dev/null | tail -t
egrep "^gdm|^lxd" /etc/{passwd,group}

The goal here is to see if gdm:lxd have any files/directories/etc. in use.
Then move them to new userid:groupid and convert mythtv to the old ids
which would leave everything that MythTV created as it was on the 20.04
system.

Hoi Daryl,

There is one thing you always have to remember when you move data like
this between old and new systems or even more important, share them
between two installation on one physical system.

usernames and groupnames are meaningless to the computer. The computer
uses the numerical u(ser)id and g(roup)id. For our benefit as stupid
mortals it translates it to a name.

However the translation between the numerical id's and the names is
unique to every installation, with the only exception of root. Root
always has a uid of 0 and a gid of 0. Some of the groups have
generally by agreement the same gid, but they could be another.

So if you create a new installation and want to copy or share data
with an old installation you have to ensure the involved users and
groups have the same uid and gid on both installations. You can set
the uid on user creation (if not already taken by another user).

This is why I use ldap for network wide user and group management. The
user hika and mythtv have the same uid on all computers and most
groups likewise.

Tot mails,
Hika mailto:hikavdh@gmail.com

My apologies to all. I "assumed" that $HOME would be pointing to the mythtv user's home directory.

I would add another complication, which I discovered copying a disk from an old backend to a new one
(duff motherboard). Many of the users and groups generated by a fresh install are "system" users;
that means they are usually used only by OS subsystems. These are less than 1000 and typically
assigned the next available numbers. As the order of installation is indeterminate during an OS
install, these are essentially random and won't match the UIDs and GIDs on any other host.

Mythtv as installed from repos is often treated as a "system" install, meaning that the UID and GID
the user "mythtv" is assigned can often collide with UIDs from other subsystems like, for example,
gdm and lxd.

For this reason I now *always* create a mythtv user with a known UID and GID in the normal user
range (> 1000) before installing any software. That ensures (i) there are no collisions, (ii) any
existing video files still have the right UID and GID, (iii) the user is created under /home rather
than under /var, and (iv) if I access those directories from elsewhere I get sensible answers from NFS.
