Hello Geeksters!
MythTV (MythBuntu) is an open source digital video recorder (DVR) under the GNU GPL licence.
In this article I will show you how to install MythTV on Ubuntu.
Install the MythTV version you prefer, for your Ubuntu version:
The MythTV 0.27 repo for Ubuntu 12.10 and Ubuntu 12.04:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mythbuntu/0.27
The MythTV 0.26 repo for Ubuntu 12.10, Ubuntu 12.04 and Ubuntu 11.10:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mythbuntu/0.26
The MythTV 0.24 repo for Ubuntu 12.04, Ubuntu 11.10 and Ubuntu 11.04:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mythbuntu/0.24
Update the repo index:
$ sudo apt-get update
Install MythTV
$ sudo apt-get install mythtv
if you encounter a locked process on install, try “sudo rm -rf /var/cache/debconf/*” from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debconf/+bug/349469
and, once again, install appears successful, but can’t access database. i’ve been trying to use this on ubuntu and fedora for close to 10 years with no success.
