</div></div>Kevin, I think that yes, I tried to follow some webpage from ubuntu<br>
wiki. Perhaps I used a wrong guide, so if you can point me to a<br>
definitive "how to install mythtv on Ubuntu" I will be grateful.<br>
<br>
I would be happy to uninstall mythtv packages, drop the database, and<br>
try again.</blockquote><div><br>I don't think it gets much more informative than the information here:<br><br><a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV</a><br><br>But I don't run Ubuntu so beyond that, I can't be of much help with that aspect of the installation.<br>
