[mythtv-users] Mythburn Error

[MacNean Tyrrell]

Yea I think this may be the case, I'm migrating away from Knoppmyth (ever
since 2 or 3 versions ago, I couldn't get VNC working, no matter all the
help or commands I ran, and VNC is very important to me at times) and trying
out Mythbuntu.  I finally migrated all my mythtv to mythbuntu, and will
probably migrate my fathers in a week or 2 once I verify that it has what he
wants (only issue is, and no i haven't had time to looks for the answer, is
getting mythweb running).

Yea I think this may be the case, I'm migrating away from Knoppmyth (ever
since 2 or 3 versions ago, I couldn't get VNC working, no matter all the
help or commands I ran, and VNC is very important to me at times, so I kept
that version, but upgraded mythtv for the Schedules Direct, and not sure
that Mythburn got updated at this time) and trying out Mythbuntu.  I finally
migrated all my mythtv boxes (including the new appletv i just picked up) to
mythbuntu this weekend, and will probably migrate my fathers in a week or 2
once I verify that it has what he wants (only issue is, and no i haven't had
time to looks for the answer, is getting mythweb running).
