http://ubuntuforums.org – I have been having some strange problems trying to install Mythbuntu on a new HTPC set up. I am usually pretty good with a bit of trouble shooting & have used Linux exclusivly since going cold turkey on Windows about 4 years ago. However this situation really has got me beat. I am trying to install Mythbuntu from a CD onto my new hardware configuration. I get as far as an initial splash screen, then a blinking cursor and the system just seems to hang from there. Sometimes if I leave it long enough the mythbuntu logo comes up. It does not totally freeze because there is some intermitt (Hardware)

Mythbuntu is installed on my ,machine and I have read the Hauppague HVR 1600, wiki, but it is like another language to me. Does someone have am easy to understand method for setting up two HVR 1600 cards for Mythbuntu for a complete newbie like me?

mythbuntu locked up my system! 2 years 44 weeks ago

Hello ~ All, Never install software unless you know exactly what it will DO!! Wise, but impracticable... I wanted to see what mythbuntu would do and explore its functionality.. BIG mistake...Now it has taken over my system - can't get my ubuntu 10.04 desktop back?

Hi all,

This is my first post, so be gentle. I've been working on setting up a HTPC with mythbuntu. I just installed mythbuntu 12.04 with Mythtv 0.25.

My remote is a Vista MCE made by Ortek (I followed these instructions to get it functioning properly, and everything looks great. The only problem is that I can't seem to control the Xfce desktop with the remote.

I just installed a fresh copy of 12.04 on my home desktop. Unfortunately, it looks like the MythBuntu Control Centre repo page is down (returns page not found):

Is there a way to install this? I am guessing this just automates the install of a PPA?

Having trouble with a new mythbuntu install as frontend and backend. I believe I have the backend setup correctly. I've configured a HDHomeRun Prime and successfully scanned for and added channels. However, when I select watch tv on the frontend, the screen only flashes a "please wait" for a split second before returning to the menu.

I read somewhere that MythBuntu can also be used as a desktop environment on Ubuntu 11.10. But i can't find that website. Would "sudo apt-get install mythbuntu" work?

After the heavy hitters from Canonical, it's time for Mythbuntu 12.04.2 LTS to be officially released.
