I was having this exact same problem and tried the couple different things listed above. The one that worked for me was the command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubiquity ubiquity-frontend-gtk Here are the steps I took: boot pc with mythbuntu cd made sure I had an internet connection by opening Firefox right clicked on the desktop and clicked Terminal Emulator put in the command listed above answered yes to install question when it finished installing I double clicked the Install MythBuntu icon That is when I noticed an option that was not previously there on the first few attempts. I was asked how many Tuners there would be and what kind they were. The install went great from there! No more failure at 83% -- mythbuntu crashes on first installation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/119055 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
