There’s no question in my mind as to why MythTV is Myth<\/i>TV. I just can’t get the stupid thing to run right.<\/p>\n
Just earlier I wrote about<\/a> my troubles with MythTV under Fedora Core 3. So I said I’d give KnoppMyth<\/a> a shot. I couldn’t wait for a couple of days, so I forged on with the saga.<\/p>\n 10PM, sitting there thinking this KnoppMyth should work. It’s an auto-install wonder. <\/p>\n Think again. Stupid KnoppMyth got stuck with trouble writing to the disks a few times. I had to use Fedora’s partition\/format utility from the boot disc to reformat the disks before KnoppMyth would even run properly. So that took me about an hour to resolve.<\/p>\n To be fair, KnoppMyth installed and auto-dected a good majority of everything right away. And the install went relatively smoothly — everything from the OS, MySQL database, MythTV and almost everything else. ALMOST: PVR 150, audio card and ethernet cards got left out.<\/p>\n So before I invest more time on KnoppMyth, I decided I’ll try it on Kyung’s old Optiplex GX110. Maybe I’ll have better luck on his machine. If all else fails, I will go back to Fedora and deal with problems I already am familiar with.<\/p>\n
