| puff | I'm not sure what the heck is going on, but this is crazy-making. | 01:58 |

| puff | The universal advice about "The installer encountered an error copying files to the hard disk: [Errno 5] Input/output error." is to burn a new disk, preferably at the slowest possible speed. | 01:59 |
| puff | Which I'm trying, but so far I've gone through about 5 CDs, every one of whci got me some sort of "an error occurred message. Wtf? | 01:59 |
| superm1 | puff, can you just burn to a usb stick instead? | 02:10 |
| superm1 | maybe your cd drive is having troubles | 02:10 |
| puff | I'm not sure this box can boot from USB. I don't remember seeing that option... | 02:13 |
| superm1 | most boxes manufacturered in the last few years can | 02:13 |
| puff | Yeah, but it's a coupel years old... right at that in-between point. | 02:14 |
| puff | I have a handful of 4B USB keys here. | 02:14 |
| puff | I had to fiddle the boot order on the myth-box-to-be several times, and it didn't list USB boot as an option, I'm pretty sure. | 02:15 |
| puff | Asus p4p800s-x motherboard. | 02:15 |
| puff | Hm, proving hard to find a clear answer on google. | 02:16 |
| puff | Damn, I hate search engine spam. | 02:17 |
| Zinn | puff: Please watch your language. | 02:17 |
| puff | Hm, found a forum post that sort of implies it's a default behavior: | 02:19 |

| puff | Okay, so I'll give it a shot... hm. | 02:19 |
| puff | Hm, so how do you make a mythbuntu bootable USB installer? | 02:20 |
| puff | E.g. if oyu just want to make a bootable ubuntu thumbdrive, you just install to the USB device. | 02:21 |
| puff | Ah, there's a section in the manual about it. | 02:21 |
| superm1 | use usb-creator | 02:21 |
| puff | Ah, that's only for making a client thumbdrive, not an installer. | 02:26 |
| superm1 | nope, that's for making an installer | 02:28 |
| superm1 | https://edge.launchpad.net/usb-creator | 02:28 |
| puff | superm1: No, I meant the manual section about thumb drives. | 02:29 |
| superm1 | oh | 02:29 |
| puff | REading up on usb-creator now... | 02:32 |
| puff | Yay, it works. | 03:34 |
| puff | Now I just need to put some media on that bio. | 03:34 |
| puff | Dang dog | 03:34 |
| puff | Sorry, dog decided to come put his head on my keyboard. | 03:34 |
| puff | Anyway, now I just need to stick a few of my larger media-containing drives onto that machine. | 03:37 |
| puff | And also look into getting a cable card or somethign. | 03:37 |
| MarcT | hello | 05:09 |
| MarcT | I was told I might be able to find an ubuntu myth maintainer in here. | 05:10 |
| puff | Dunno. | 05:20 |
| puff | a | 05:20 |
| puff | This is something of a slow motion channel... MarcT: The folks here have ben very slow to respond, but helpful when they do. | 05:21 |
| puff | MarcT: So, ask your question and hang around to wait for the answer :-). | 05:21 |
| MarcT | I was told that the ubuntu maintainers might be able to assist with inserting the svn revision into the version.cpp. | 05:22 |
| MarcT | I'm using gentoo which has a method that is supposed to do it, but that method is broken. And that finding out how it is done in ubuntu might help me resolve that issue. | 05:23 |
| oobe | MarcT, wow this was ages ago but i think if you need help you will need to be more specific about the source and package you are refering to | 13:17 |
| MarcT | mythtv | 13:28 |
| MarcT | I found a dirty fix, copy the .svn in to the working folder. | 13:29 |
| Technophil | Can someone advise me on fixing "broken apt package cache" when trying to re-enable mythtv on mythbuntu 9.04 that I think was originally 8.10? | 23:29 |
| Technophil | Seems to me there has become version conflict between 8.10 and 9.04 | 23:37 |
