I have assumed that the ubuntu you are using is x86_64 (i.e. 64 bit)

Make sure you have the latest mythbuild.sh file, there have been 
several  changes since the original post from Lawrence Rust some months 
ago.

For the first build I suggest you run :

./mythbuild.sh -2 -Q 5.4.0 -l -v

The -l (letter l)  gives a log file, -v gives more verbose information 
on the build, which will help if there are problems. Note the first 
build will take a long time (could be several hours depending on your 
pc) as it has to build QT5 before building mythtv.
