On 10.04, you need to upgrade mythbuntu log grabber from the mythbuntu
testing PPA before it will post logs for you (the logs do gather at
/tmp/mythbuntu.diag). Gathering the logs doesn't have anything to do
with the site being down.

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV: Incomplete

Bug description:
Mythbuntu log grabber doesn't get data I think because mythbuntu.org is down and can't show me the pasted logs, from what I can remember of it working before. 

I created a live cd, mythbuntu 10.04, amd64 bits, on boot I get a dialog that says: install failed. encountered unrecoverable error. so then I get the liveCD. I clicked on install, and it seemed like it did, except when I rebooted it would not boot.

I've reinstalled the os a few times now, and probably ~50 times for mythtv. spending probably 15 hours working on trying to get mythtv working--I had it working before (after a couple weeks work (plus working with a dual head external card to a lcd tv), but it was getting glitchy, so I wanted to update to .23 version. good luck with that! nvidia video out card, hauppage 350 cable in card. 

Trying to get mythbuntu running is like playing Civilization by Sid Meier late in the morning, just fix this, mess with that, repeat, etc, just one more turn, til all of a sudden it's sunrise the next day...

Then I gave up and installed ubuntu 10.04 from another cd. Then loaded mythbuntu from a package on mythbuntu.org, messed with that, after a day I finally got livetv working, but on rebooting it couldn't find the database. So after about a dozen add/remove mythtv server/client attempts, via the communication centre and command line, I reloaded the os from scratch to no avail.

I've learned how to login in to to mysql via the root and mythtv uname/pwds. and messed with dhcp and static ip addresses, and localhost, hostname, servername, etc, they show up in the mysql table with various users but I still can't figure out why 

I read one of the mythbuntu bugs saying where the mythtv comm center has a problem with client/server setup such that there's a db problem--that sure sounds like what I'm experiencing. 

sometimes I think this is a test of character, or, stupidity. I say I'm a web designer, but I'm becoming a linux admin just by trying to watch tv like a tivo. thanks for your patience, I'm hoping this post will let me get some sleep tonite.
