https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV</a><br>><br><br>I am very glad you have put this together. I have been searching through<br>the web and archives looking for instructions. These are extremely easy. I<br>was attempting it on Dapper, but didn't get to far.
<br><br><br>First, this is my first install ever of MythTV. Also, my *nix experience is<br>low, so my comments are towards newbie friendlyness. I won't have an input<br>device but I do hope I can download my channel information and check how to
<br>setup the box to run everything automatically.<br><br>I am running this inside of a VMWare image with the i386 install of Ubuntu<br>6.10.<br><br>When running this step:<br>sudo aptitude install mythtv-frontend gdm openbox gnome-screensaver
<br>mysql-server mythtv-backend mythtv-database<br><br>I am prompted about Postfix Configuration. I have read somewhere else just<br>to ignore this and take the defaults. You should add a little note to<br>indicate this. Just like you have for the root password for mysql, you
<br>could add:<br> - You will be asked to configure Postfix, take all defaults and choose an<br>email userid for yourself.<br><br><br>After Postfix, it launches right into "Configuring mythtv-backend". I know<br>
you can't do anything about this, but a note to the users might help.<br>Anytime there are prompts for the user, a note so they can expect it will<br>let them know things are progressing correctly.<br><br><br>I ended up with an error after this:
<br><br>Setting up mysql-server (5.0.24a-9) ...<br>Setting up pwgen (2.05-1ubuntu1) ...<br>Setting up mythtv-common (0.20-0.2ubuntu2) ...<br><br>Setting up mythtv-backend (0.20-0.2ubuntu2) ...<br>udev active, devices will be created in /dev/.static/dev/ Starting MythTV
<br>server: mythbackendSession management error:<br>Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols<br>specified are supported and host-based authentication failed .<br><br>Setting up mythtv-database (

0.5.44-1) ...<br><br><br><br>Is it getting this error when attempting to log into the MySQL database?<br>I can log in via the command line:<br>mysql -u root<br>Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.<br>
Your MySQL connection id is 14 to server version: 5.0.24a-Debian_9-log<br><br>Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.<br><br>mysql><br><br><br><br>I continued the install hoping this is a non-fatal problem.
<br><br><br>I was able to run:<br>sudo mythtv-setup<br>- Define at least my channel grabber information.<br><br><br>I can also start the frontend.<br><br>Things are looking very good, next will be the myplugins and especially
<br>MythWeb.<br><br><br>Thanks for doing this.<br>Dave<br><br><br><br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>mythtv-users mailing list<br><a href="mailto:mythtv-users@mythtv.org">mythtv-users@mythtv.org
