Hi folks,
I'm a strong believer in "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"
But at the same time I also don't want to be running
unsupported/vulnerable platforms. And it's touch hard to reconcile
these two different mindsets.
Given the upcoming EOL of Ubuntu 18.04, I figure that it's time to
update things. But before I dig into this project, I'm curious about
any snags that one might expect in either the updating of a MythTV box's
underlying Ubuntu version, or the updating of MythTV itself.
Having skimmed through this list from time to time, I seem to recall
seeing messages along the line of "lirc doesn't work anymore unless you
do <blah>", or something similar.
Is there a resource out there that covers the various things that may
break as the result of doing such an update (both MythTV and Ubuntu, if
I had my wishes), and what can be done to prevent/correct them?
Obviously I'll have a full system backup before going down this path,
but I'd like to avoid surprises and the related time sinks.
Thanks
-WD
