of preparing for 0.29. In the MythTV arena I’ve discovered things
go more smoothly if I pilot and practice. I’ve set out to build a
spare parts box and connect it to my two external tuners, load Ubuntu
16.04.4 and Myth 0.28, record a few things and then update. Once I pilot the change I'll employ it on my main box. My base
system is combined FE/BE with an SSD for software and a separate hard
drive for storage.

never going to get past Ubuntu 14.04 because of the systemd issue. It
kinda reminded me of basic training all those years ago (I’m old
enough where I faced the draft) where I was the guy the TI described
as the doofus whose shoes looked like he shined them with a Hershey
bar. So I’m kind of leery of posting at all thinking Airman Doofus
might be making a rookie mistake since I’ve always been and remain
in awe of the knowledge on this board.

eventually figured out how to make 0.28 work and the catalyst was
discovering and following Steven Worthington’s guide to a “T”
. The Cheese metaphor refers to the fact that having thrice loaded
Ubuntu and Myth from scratch and following the guide letter for
letter things don’t seem to work.
