A number of you have been very kind is answering installation, database backup, and support questions. Because of this I have been successful in doing a fresh install of Mythbuntu 16.04.1 with mythtv 0.28 and keeping my current recordings and database for those recordings.

Install Mythtv On Ubuntu
I had Mythtv 0.28 working fine on Ubuntu 16.04. After updating Ubuntu to 18.04 my system was deemed unstable and so I formatted my hard disk and loaded Ubuntu 18.04 from USB stickI have followed the Mythtv installation instructions but have been unable to get Mythtv 0.29 to work on this new build with a Mythtv startup status of 'Waiting for database to start', changing to 'Database failed to start'
I have reloaded Ubuntu maybe 20 times and tried various methods to load Mythtv but to no avail
Mythtv Windows 10
I have updated all the software to the latest versions. I have tried everything that I can think of including changing the Mythtv database password to that in /home/mythtv/.mythtv/config.xml but have exhausted my knowledgeI am at my wits end and hoping that someone on the forum could advise what tests I could run to identify why Mythtv 0.29 will not work --- any help would be appreciated!

- 2Build your own Packages
This page will describe how to install on Debian, using the package manager. Currently no MythTV-approved repository exists so the packages need to be built from source. This is an easy process using a script that can be checked out from git.
Dependencies
First install the dependancies instructions can be found at Build_from_Source#Installing_Build_Dependencies_without_Ansible

Getting and compiling the source code
| Step | Command to run |
|---|---|
| create a directory | cd |
| clone the git mythtv packages | cd ~/build |
| Start the build. This script checks out the latest version of fixes/30 from git and builds the packages. 31.0. | ./build-debs.sh fixes/30 |
In general, you should probably choose the stable version. If you don't mind if your MythTV system is non-functional or has serious bugs that may prevent proper operation/result in lost recordings or inability to play back recordings, you may try using the unstable, development code replace the above fixes/30 with master. If using unstable, development code, you should follow the mythtv-commits and mythtv-dev mailing lists.
After about 30 minutes the build will complete and there will be a lot of .deb files in the current directory.
Decide what type of installation you need.
If this is your first system and you are using a single box for recording and watching, you need a complete frontend, backend and database. Choose the mythtv package.

If you are adding a Frontend to an existing system, to allow for watching on another TV or computer system, choose the mythtv-frontend package.
If you are adding a Slave Backend use mythtv-backend. This is an advanced usage that few people will need.
There are packages for installing a complete system, or for installing parts of a multi server system.
| mythtv | Complete frontend and backend system with database. |
| mythtv-frontend | Frontend that connects to a separate backend. |
| mythtv-backend | Backend without database. This is either a master backend where there is a separate database server or a slave backend. |
| mythtv-backend-master | Master Backend with database. |
| mythtv-database | MythTV database only. Advanced use where there is a separate database server from backend. You will need to also install mysql server when using this. |
| mythplugins | Plugins for a frontend system. Install this after installing your main package from earlier in this list. |
| mythweb | MythWeb provides a frontend for scheduling and managing recordings from a web browser. |
Once you have the correct Release version in your repository, install the package, as follows:
