Mythbuntu 8.04 Alpha 2 now available
Today we are introducing second Mythbuntu 8.04 alpha image. With this release, we are providing mirroring on sponsored mirrors rather than a torrent only release.
It is very important to note that this release is not compatible with Mythbuntu 7.10 or any other MythTV 0.20.2 based distribution.
Changes from Alpha 1:
Lirc
* Rudimentary transmitter selection support is available for all devices but the pvr-150.
* Include support for lircrc files that are generated to ease the editting process.
* Include support for lircd.conf files to nicely organize lircd.conf
* Customizable options for remotes not included.
* DKMS support. If you have modules that get upgraded after 8.04 comes out, you can patch them via lirc-modules-source manually, or grab a lirc-modules-source from a future Ubuntu/Mythbuntu testing release and simply install it without any manual patching necessary.
Themes
* All themes are modularized into their own packages, so systems can be further streamlined
* Community themes. All of Justin H.’s wonderful themes have been included by default.
MythTV 0.21
* This release is based on the release-0-21-fixes branch which was created recently to prepare for 0.21’s release. Please report all bugs that you find related to MythTV 0.21 to the upstream bug tracker at http://svn.mythtv.org
Resolved Issues:
* Most of the bugs that were reported about the 7.10 release have been resolved. Please refrain from using non-alphanumeric characters for passwords in the installer however, as some issues are still pending with that.
We appreciated all comments from the last relesee and would love to hear what you think of this release. Please make comments to our mailing list, on the forums (with a tag indicating that this is from 8.04 or hardy), or in #ubuntu-mythtv.As previously,
If you encounter any issues with anything in this release (including ubiquity), please file a bug on launchpad:
