Due to a major hardware failure over the last week I have had to rebuild my main house server (mail, dns, web etc). This was running Debian stable (Squeeze) with mythtv 0.25 via backports.<br>
<br>
Thinking I might be able to make use of the 0.25-fixes repository I rebuilt the server using Ubuntu-Server 12.04. However, looking a the mythbuntu web site it now seems to do everything through the mythbuntu-control-centre - and assumes that you do not need to know any details of how to get access to the correct repository.<br>
<br>
It also implies that the control centre is already installed - but I presume that is because I am using the server edition and it assumes you have the desktop. I installed the control centre via aptitude, and it pulled in loads and loads of additional junk with it. However when I try and use it, all the icons are missing and I get an error when it tries to do anything which requires admin permissions. I think it might have been trying to add something to my sources.list file.<br>
<br>
I don't really want the hand holding of the control centre if I don't need it - I can just as easily run mythtv-setup manually.<br>
<br>
Does anyone know how I can set the ubuntu-server up so I can get my backend to pickup 0.25-fixes.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
