MythBuntu

I have given up trying to get Mythbuntu working. Not because of any faults in the MythTV part of it. I have not been able to get the wirless networking link working. The version of Ubuntu that it is built on is not the latest that I am familiar with, and doesn't have the KDE GUI, so not my usual environment. Becasue my wireless link is encrypted, this has casued teh struggle getting it to work, trying to get the correct encryption statements in. My usual system works using wpa_supplicant, but because I don't have a link, I can't download this. Catch-22. And now I have the problem that teh system keeps locking up. Again, perhaps a problem that I should have been ready for, as it is built on the discarded PC from the house, which was discarded because it kept on - you guessed it - locking up.

So for now this project is on a back burner. maybe I'll try it on one of the other PC's in store.

What I would really like is to be able to add MythTV to an existing Ubuntu installation. Something to look at.
