| qwebirc33145 | If I just installed Ubuntu 10.10, Will my Mythbuntu sit on top of that, or did I just waste some time? | 03:52 |
|---|---|---|
| mycoDA | yeah - install the mythbuntu package | 03:54 |
| mycoDA | should install mythbuntu control center | 03:54 |
| mycoDA | use MCC to choose the roles you want the system to have and it will do the rest | 03:54 |
| mycoDA | sound workable qwebirc33145 ? | 03:55 |
| qwebirc33145 | Woah, sorry I'm a total noob. I literally just installed ubuntu (so far I love it) | 03:55 |
| mycoDA | open a terminal | 03:55 |
| mycoDA | enter "sudo apt-get install mythbuntu" | 03:55 |
| mycoDA | enter ur password | 03:55 |
| tgm4883 | mycoDA, you mean mythbuntu-control-centre | 03:55 |
| mycoDA | oops lol | 03:56 |
| tgm4883 | IIRC, there isn't a straight mythbuntu package | 03:56 |
| qwebirc33145 | So, I don't need to download the latest mythbuntu package? | 03:56 |
| mycoDA | goddam it - coulda sworn it was a metapackage | 03:56 |
| qwebirc33145 | BTW i really appreciate the help | 03:57 |
| tgm4883 | qwebirc33145, you will install mythbuntu-control-centre, then from there tell it how you want that system set up for mythtv | 03:57 |
| mycoDA | it will do it for you qwebirc33145 | 03:57 |
| tgm4883 | mycoDA, mythbuntu-desktop is a metapackage | 03:57 |
| tgm4883 | which would give you far more than just installing mythtv stuffs | 03:57 |
| mycoDA | yeah, thought mythbuntu was too - my bad | 03:57 |
| mycoDA | coulda sworn hearing there was a metapackage called that to convert normal buntu to mythbuntu lol | 03:58 |
| mycoDA | oh well - live and learn | 03:58 |
| mycoDA | very welcome qwebirc33145 | 03:58 |
| mycoDA | ty tgm4883 - you do great work | 03:58 |
| qwebirc33145 | ok, so should i install the main mythbuntu download, or do it from the terminal? | 03:59 |
| mycoDA | huh? can either go to a terminal or synaptic and install mythbuntu control center | 04:00 |
| mycoDA | then open mythbuntu control center and tell it what 'roles' you want the machine to have, probably master backend and frontend | 04:00 |
| mycoDA | it will run scripts that configure and install most of it | 04:01 |
| qwebirc33145 | OK - I have to run... I'll give this stuff a whirl and hopefullly figure it out :0) | 04:01 |
| mycoDA | recommend before you do that you enable the PPAs for 0.24-fixes in Mythbuntu Control Center (you will know what i mean when you see it) | 04:01 |
| mycoDA | good luck | 04:02 |
| qwebirc33145 | OK, thanks for the advice! | 04:02 |
| tgm4883 | mycoDA, the PPAs are in there by default | 04:02 |
| tgm4883 | you have to manually download and install mythbuntu-repos | 04:02 |
| tgm4883 | !repos | 04:02 |
| Zinn | The Mythbuntu team provides updates for MythTV and Mythbuntu package using the Mythbuntu Repos http://mythbuntu.org/repos | 04:02 |
| tgm4883 | and mythbuntu-desktop is the only package that converts a ubuntu install into a mythbuntu one | 04:03 |
| tgm4883 | but isn't necessary to install mythtv | 04:03 |
| mycoDA | they arent in MCC by default??? | 04:03 |
| mycoDA | goddam it has been too long since i did a clean install | 04:04 |
| mycoDA | tgm4883 ? | 04:04 |
| tgm4883 | mycoDA, nope, we can't ship that by default | 04:05 |
| tgm4883 | since it activates outside PPA's | 04:05 |
| tgm4883 | since we have ubuntu build our ISOs | 04:06 |
| tgm4883 | Also, after 12.04 LTS, we are thinking of doing LTS only ISO's | 04:06 |
| tgm4883 | in case anyone in here wants to comment on that | 04:06 |
| mycoDA | makes sense to me | 04:09 |
| mycoDA | myth seems best treated as an appliance, so 3-5 year support makes a lot of sense | 04:10 |
| mycoDA | is there a recommendation somwhere on the mythbuntu site to go for the LTS releases if the machine is primarily for myth? | 04:12 |
| tgm4883 | mycoDA, recommendation? nope | 04:15 |
| tgm4883 | but thats what I do for my backend | 04:15 |
| mycoDA | ditto | 04:16 |
| tgm4883 | it's also why LTS will get all mythtv versions released until the next LTS | 04:16 |
| mycoDA | would their be a place for at least a comment on the fact a lot of people choose to stick with LTS releases somewhere prominent where people are likely to find it BEFORE downloading lol | 04:17 |
| tgm4883 | mycoDA, we are still in the process of determining how many people are on what version | 04:17 |
| tgm4883 | need a few more months of data | 04:18 |
| mycoDA | fair one | 04:18 |
| tgm4883 | 90%+ are on 0.24 | 04:18 |
| mycoDA | just seems like info that would be useful at the start of peoples mythbuntu journey | 04:18 |
| tgm4883 | but there are slightly more people on maverick than on lucid currently | 04:18 |
| mycoDA | i kinda wish i had stayed with 8.04, would have been significantly less hasslesome to upgrade | 04:19 |
| tgm4883 | mycoDA, perhaps. But 8.04 only has mythtv 0.21 | 04:19 |
| mycoDA | but then again iirc i couldnt get 0.22trunk and wanted it for vdpau | 04:19 |
| mycoDA | lol snap | 04:19 |
| tgm4883 | IIRC it was a limitation of the qt version on hardy | 04:19 |
| mycoDA | ahhhhh | 04:20 |
| mycoDA | is there a 0.25 trunk for lucid atm? | 04:20 |
| tgm4883 | should be, I'd have to check though | 04:20 |
| tgm4883 | I don't think it's available in MCC but it might exist | 04:20 |
| mycoDA | fair one | 04:21 |
| mycoDA | sounds like 0.25 is reasonable? | 04:21 |
| tgm4883 | Yep 0.25 (trunk) is being built for lucid and natty | 04:22 |
| tgm4883 | But you can't enable it in MCC in lucid | 04:22 |
| mycoDA | PPA repo? | 04:25 |
| mycoDA | reliable source? | 04:26 |
| tgm4883 | yea, it's the mythbuntu team PPA | 04:27 |
| tgm4883 | so I hope it's reliable :) | 04:27 |
| mycoDA | sweet - linky? | 04:27 |
| tgm4883 | https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu/+archive/0.25 | 04:28 |
| Zinn | [launchpad.net] 0.25 : âMythbuntu Developersâ team | 04:28 |
| mycoDA | (dont want to google, get the wrong one and end up with someones dodgy build with gentoo style flags aplenty) | 04:28 |
| mycoDA | ty :) | 04:29 |
| dekarl1 | tgm4883: does mythbuntu heading for LTS versions imply that there might be some interest in porting back xmltv, too? | 07:04 |
| tgm4883 | dekarl1, I haven't heard of that | 07:33 |
| tgm4883 | we don't control xmltv stuff though | 07:33 |
| === dekarl1 is now known as dekarl_afk | ||
| === dekarl_afk is now known as dekarl | ||
| dekarl | tgm4883: I think no one really controls xmltv on ubuntu, that's what made me want to promote it a bit over here :D | 07:52 |
| qwebirc8276 | Where do I find my password to install Mythbuntu 10.10 | 19:48 |
| qwebirc8276 | I downloaded the program but when I do the install it asks for a user name and password. I do not have one. .... | 20:31 |
| joat_ | I've not used MythTV in about 2 years. Just now coming back to it. Question: did Ubuntu remove the MPEG-2 option for capture cards? When I try configuring with the backend-setup, there's no option for MPEG-2. | 22:28 |
| gregL | joat_ You can still use those cards, It's the 3rd option... | 23:12 |
| joat_ | gregL: third option being "HDHomeRun"? (1: DVB 2: Firewire 3:HDHomeRun 4:Network recorder 5:Import test recorder 6:Demo test recorder) No: MPEG option. | 23:25 |
| joat_ | trying a different approach... | 23:48 |
