Title:
  install failed on live cd. tried to get log, but mythbuntu.org is down
  so no log.

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
  Expired

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.
