dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of mythtv:<br>
mythtv depends on mythtv-backend (= 0.21.0+fixes18207-0ubuntu4~hardy1);<br>
however:<br>
Package mythtv-backend is not configured yet.<br></blockquote></div><br>It looks like mythtv-backend wasn't removed or not completely removed. You might want to try opening synaptic and search for packages with myth in their name, and make sure everything is actually removed. Sometimes you may have just removed a 'meta-package' and didn't actually removed the packages that the meta-package installed. <br>
<br>Also as others have suggested it is much nicer and easier to use the mythbuntu. You don't have to do a mythtbuntu install with a mythbuntu CD. I run one machine that is a combined backend/frontend/desktop, which I believe is what you were trying to accomplish. I usually install Ubuntu and get it setup how I want. Then I run:<br>
<br>sudo apt-get install mythbuntu-desktop<br><br>It seems they have even made this unnecasary now. They have a webpage where you can just click on a link to a php script that will get the installation process going on an existing Ubuntu machine: <a href="http://www.mythbuntu.org/existing-ubuntu">http://www.mythbuntu.org/existing-ubuntu</a>. This should install all of the packages you need and it will take care of most of the configuration you would need to do also. Once it is installed you can go to the Ubuntu Settings menu and you will see the Mythbuntu Control Center. From there you can add/remove the frontend or backend, setup remotes, add/remove mythtv plugins and many more things. They aren't all of the way there yet but the goal is for you to be able to setup and configure anything you would need for mythtv from the Mythbuntu control center. Like most things in the world of Linux it is simple and easy if everything works, but can be a real pain if some small thing goes wrong. Hopefully this can get you on the easy path.<br>
