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