[01:58] <puff> I'm not sure what the heck is going on, but this is crazy-making.
[01:59] <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?
[02:10] <superm1> puff, can you just burn to a usb stick instead?
[02:10] <superm1> maybe your cd drive is having troubles
[02:13] <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
[02:14] <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.
[02:15] <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.

[02:16] <puff> Hm, proving hard to find a clear answer on google.
[02:17] <puff> Damn, I hate search engine spam.
[02:17] <Zinn> puff: Please watch your language.
[02:19] <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.
[02:20] <puff> Hm, so how do you make a mythbuntu bootable USB installer?
[02:21] <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
[02:26] <puff> Ah, that's only for making a client thumbdrive, not an installer.
[02:28] <superm1> nope, that's for making an installer
[02:28] <superm1> https://edge.launchpad.net/usb-creator
[02:29] <puff> superm1: No, I meant the manual section about thumb drives.
[02:29] <superm1> oh
[02:32] <puff> REading up on usb-creator now...
[03:34] <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.
[03:37] <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.
[05:09] <MarcT> hello
[05:10] <MarcT> I was told I might be able to find an ubuntu myth maintainer in here.
[05:20] <puff> Dunno.
[05:20] <puff> a
[05:21] <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 :-).
[05:22] <MarcT> I was told that the ubuntu maintainers might be able to assist with inserting the svn revision into the version.cpp.
[05:23] <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.
[13:17] <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
[13:28] <MarcT> mythtv
[13:29] <MarcT> I found a dirty fix, copy the .svn in to the working folder.
[23:29] <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?
[23:37] <Technophil> Seems to me there has become version conflict between 8.10 and 9.04
