You should be able to install all of MythTV under Ubuntu with just this
command.

sudo aptitude install mythtv

That'll install the frontend and backend as well as create the database and a
mythtv system account.

Then you can configure your Myth with the mythtv-setup command. All MythTV's
settings are stored in the mythconverg MySQL database. If you use the
instructions on the MythTV HOWTO to dump the database after configuring it to
use your favourite theme and setting up channels you should be able to restore
it at will. 

Hope that helps :)
