[06:59] <qwebirc43268> hmm... mythbuntu newbie question here.  I've just loaded mythbuntu 10.10, and upon reboot there's no GUI.  I'm doing a "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" to see if that fixes it, but I'd like to know if that's the correct solution?
[07:01] <[R]> if your gonna install ubuntu-desktop, you may as well just ahve tinstalled ubuntu desktop to begin with
[07:29] <qwebirc43268> But mythbuntu is supposed to offer the front-end as well, so I should be able to watch tv right on the machine.  Am I missing something?
[07:34] <[R]> what did you select when you installed it?
[07:48] <qwebirc43268> both front and back end: there was nothing else that I could have selected
[07:48] <[R]> well you screwed up something

[08:15] <notAlph> hmm... I could do ask for a list of packages to see if the front end is installed

[08:31] <notAlph> I wonder if it's the video drivers...
[08:31] <notAlph> I used the option to use the proprietary drivers
[08:53] <notAlph> I'm going to re-install without those drivers.  See what happens.
[16:00] <mrand> notAlph: mythtv, and setting it up in general, pretty much requires using the GUI(s)
