tgm4883I would recommend switching to the update repo21:42
tgm4883there are a bunch of fixes in there, the mythtv you are running is pretty old21:42

qwebirc96668i have installed front end and a few other things. i have paste bin those errors http://pastebin.com/X92tdCUy21:43
tgm4883ok21:44
tgm4883the frontend was also installed, I see it in the previous pastebin21:45
tgm4883it's possible all those errors are coming from -bare, but they appear to not stop it from installing21:45
