Installing MythTV on Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper) with a Hauppauge PVR-150/250/350/500

[NT4usB]

I had the same problem. I think this fixed it for me:

sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5

Thanks for the howto btw

That worked for the Firefox thing. Had to restart X (Ctrl+Alt+Backspace) for it to take though.

When I try to login to phpmyadmin, I receive this message:

Error
#1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

Edit: Oh, and by the way, I've reinstalled everything relating to php several times (complete removal through synaptic).

I had the same problem. I did a complete remove of all mysql5 (sear, sort by the first column with box) Exept for whatever was dependencies of other ubuntu stuff.

Then i followed the command in post #22
http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthre...t=48397&page=3

sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql-client-5.0 mysql-server-5.0 phpmyadmin libapache2-mod-php5 libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php5-mysql

Just in case someone bangs their head like me:

non-US people have to specify the frequency-map in ivtv-tune like this:

ivtv-tune -teurope-west -c E2 -d /dev/video0

I added the stuff about installing libapache-mod-php5.
Also for all you folow australian's Here some cheats for you:
ivtv-tune -t australia -c 40 -d /dev/video0

Channel 40 gets me Channel 9/Win tv

On my amd64 install of dapper, the firmware had to go to /lib/firmware/2.6.15-23-amd64-generic

I've spent a couple hours on this now and just can't get it going. Is there perhaps a script out there to help simplify all this? There's just sooo many steps that can go wrong it's worse than installing certain flavors of linux that start with G.

When I do mythfilldatabase I get a bunch of these:

DB Error (Inserting into dd_schedule):
Query was:
INSERT INTO dd_schedule (programid,stationid,scheduletime,duration,repeat,stereo,subtitled,hdtv,closecaptioned,tvrating,partnumber,parttotal,endtime) VALUES('SH6878270000','19283','2006-06-14T23:30:00','00:30:00',0,0,0,0,0,NULL,0,0,'2006-06-15T00:00:00');
Driver error was [2/1064]:

Any ideas? I have to say -- this is much easier on Dapper than it was on Breezy.

I've successfully followed this howto with a brand new Dapper install. Thanks for it, worked great!

But I have one last trick to figure out. I use digital cable, that goes through a Scientific Atlanta 1850 set-top-box. I purchased an IR blaster from http://irblaster.info -- referred there because it reputedly works well with MythTV. On that site, there's a link to a tutorial on setting up an IR blaster to control a cable/dish box on a KnoppMyth box, which I thought would be similar enough to my own setup to use.

Just my luck that it wasn't, as the author of the tutorial told me in an e-mail that the differences between the distros were too significant for his tutorial to be effective. Trying anyway, I didn't get too far before I encountered errors that I couldn't figure out.

Has anybody setup their MythTV in Ubuntu to control a cable box with an IR blaster?
