[01:46] <TandyUK> tgm4883: ubuntu desktop 12.04.1 x64 refuses to boot lol
[01:46] <TandyUK> downloaded the iso twice, md5sum'd it, and verrified the disc the second time
[01:46] <TandyUK> at least the mythbuntu disc booted lol
[01:47] <TandyUK> so still no idea if the plain ubuntu supports it, but further googling sugests not without installing dkms and building the kernel modules ofr it
[01:47] <TandyUK> so i see my course of action being something like this...
[01:48] <TandyUK> boot myth livecd, install ddkms and get the kernel mod working so when i go to install i can actually see the drive
[01:48] <TandyUK> once installer completes, do not reboot, and chroot into the newly installed os
[01:48] <TandyUK> here again install the dkms and build the kernel mods
[01:49] <TandyUK> then rebuild the boot kernel and reinstall the boot loader and install this onto the boot sector of the raid array
[01:49] <TandyUK> and i should be ok to reboot for the first time
[01:54] <TandyUK> pretty much all the way up to sorting oput the boot loader ill be fine on, but as a heavy centos/suse user,, the boot stuff im gonna need to ubuntu specific help with :P
[01:54] <TandyUK> unless theres anythig else you guys think i should know before i start that is... :)
[02:13] <gregL> TandyUK, Did you ask your question in  #ubuntu ? There are some pretty knowledgeable people.. Maybe someone there will have an answer for you...
[02:15] <gregL> There are some pretty knowledgeable people in there.. That should have read...
[02:36] <qwebirc70055> I'm trying to install mythbuntu 12.04 from an ISO CD I've created. It hangs on the 'Preparing to install' screen. I've read that it's probably something to do with a non-clean 'swap'. I've tried re-partitioning with gparted, but still no luck. Can someone either help me out or at least point me to where I can get answers?
[02:44] <TandyUK> well theyre not much help tbh lol
[02:44] <TandyUK> but i have a mythbuntu live running with my disk showing up now :)
[02:45] <TandyUK> tested the media etc/
[02:45] <TandyUK> ?
[02:45] <qwebirc70055> yeah, the CD seems ok
[02:47] <qwebirc70055> Do you know how to tell if my swap partition is clean?
[02:47] <TandyUK> no idea, but id hazard a guess deleteing the partition would do it
[02:47] <TandyUK> did you md5sum the iso you downloaded?
[02:48] <qwebirc70055> no, I can try that...I had my CD burner perform verification and it was OK (I had to discard the first disk I made)
[02:50] <qwebirc70055> I loaded gparted and deleted all the partitions and created everything from scratch, but still no luck
[02:50] <qwebirc70055> I'll try the md5sum now
[02:50] <TandyUK> as im having to manually do the partitioning to prevent the installer wiping out my 6tb raid array!..
[02:51] <TandyUK> what is the defalt filesystem type for the root partiton in mythbuntu?
[02:51] <qwebirc70055> ah, I'm just using an old machine, so I don't care if I wipe out the entire drive
[02:51] <TandyUK> im having tpo reinstall a customers (not done since 10.something) just done upgrades since then
[02:52] <qwebirc70055> I'm not sure. I formatted it as ext4
[02:52] <TandyUK> his raid array started, so we replaced it before too many disks died
[02:52] <TandyUK> then the os drive died, so ive added a highpoint rr620 and 2 drives raid 1 for mythbunu to get installed on
[02:52] <TandyUK> bloody drivers arent in ubuntu yet so its being a pita
[02:53] <TandyUK> at least not b default
[02:53] <qwebirc70055> yeah, that's frustrating
[02:56] <qwebirc43048> I just verified the md5sum and it's ok
[02:56] <qwebirc43048> (my browser just crashed so I had to reload the tab...I'm not sure if it just continues where I left off here)
[04:29] <qwebirc12695> I need help trying to setup Myth to play an Audio CD (DVD already works)
[22:46] <Shinobi> Is it possible to get a silent front end to mythbuntu that can also play mame, and other emulators?  (Wii emulator?)
[22:50] <rhpot1991> Shinobi: could try something ion2 based, dunno it would have enough horsepower though
