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

<div>It's a little unintuitive, but visit this page: <a

href="http://www.mythbuntu.org/existing-ubuntu">http://www.mythbuntu.org/existing-ubuntu</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>and click on the chrome looking Install MythBuntu image.
This should add the correct repos for your system and let you
install -fixes</div>

</div>
<div>You never have to open the control center if you don't want
to, but it does have some handy utilities for optimizing MySQL
and a few other settings.</div>

but I'm running on a command line only server. I don't really want
to install firefox etc just so I can have a web page automatically
add some lines to my sources.list. Can't someone just tell me what
they are, and I will edit them into my sources.list. Then tell me
what package to install so the repository key is installled.<br>
