Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 10.10 + MythTV frontend on this PC.
I have Myth TV 0.24 (combined back- & font-ends) installed on a different PC.
I wanted to be able to access the backend from the PC that I am now using.
Originally, I installed the package listed in Synaptic (ver 0.23). However,
when I tried to set it up, it would not allow me to continue, due to the
different database versions (or words to that effect).
I then looked up how to get a PPA, entered that detail into the synaptic
repository sources, & downloaded the update to 0.24.
During the installation of the update, mythtv-common failed, reporting these
lines of text:
setting up mythtv-common (2:0:24.0+fixes.20110507.5d38c49-0ubuntu0mythbuntu2)
...
sed: -e expression #1, char 45: unknown option to 's'
dpkg: error processing myth-common (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
No apport report written because MaxReports is reached already;
There was also this error message:
E: mythtv-common: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error
exit status 1
E: mythtv-frontend: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
There was enough of MythTV working to be able to set it up.
However, it drops to a black screen whenever I use esc.
The availability of this remote frontend is not time critical. However,
I would like to finalise the setup & be able to say that this task is
finished & working.
I can appreciate that working with a PPA has risks. After I installed
0.24 on my front & backend PC, I disabled the PPA in the repository
source, so that I wouldn't get updates. I plan to move to 11.04 later
this month & then allow all updates.
I hope that this information is of help. Regards, Garry.
