Re: [mythtv-users] Miserable time installing Mythtv
Won't work, since you've got the 32-bit versions. You'll have to rpm -e all the 32-bit pieces first, then a yum install mythtv-suite will work fine. OK.. I'll give it a try if I get brave enough and find some time in my recording schedule. ;) Only one hard drive?!? :p (Check out some of JPP's posts about Project Grayhem, where you can see evidence of his ~3TB of storage in the screenshots... :) Just one 160gb super quiet samsung spinpoint. I did setup LVM on the video partition as you suggested, so adding another drive shouldn't be a problem. -Kenneth ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

What do you mean by installed individually?
or can I just install myth-suite and it'll make everything happy?
Installing mythtv-suite won't work, since it doesn't explicitly require all
the latest components, meaning having any 0.18.x version installed satisfies
its deps. Probably best to specifically request each package to make sure you
get the latest. If you happen to have i386 packages installed on x86_64 (rpm
-q --qf='%{name}.%{arch}\n' \*myth\*), you may have to remove them first.
Keep in mind that all your settings are in your db, so entirely removing
everything and then reinstalling won't cost you anything (and you can install
mythtv-suite, in that case).
