Mythbuntu 9.10 Release Notes

Mythbuntu is built upon the base of Ubuntu and thus has all the non-gnome specific features of Ubuntu. You can find Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala release notes here

Note: alternate disks are no longer being made. They had a very low take rate, and we feel it's better to focus our attention on desktop disks.

Known Issues

• Many changes have been made to MythTV 0.22. Please read the FAQ
• Analog channel scanning has been disabled
• PVR-150 Blaster does not currently work
• MythMusic may not show all audio devices (for example, ALSA:spdif vs. Standard, /dev/adsp or /dev/dsp)
• ISOs do not work in storage groups. See MythVideo 0.22 Transition Guide - Disadvantages
• External Players do not work in storage groups. See MythVideo 0.22 Transition Guide - Disadvantages
• DVD ripping does not work until 'Directories that hold videos' is filled with a valid path
• The install partitioner can't see your drive, likely due to Ubuntu bug 461470. Work-around: (1) launch a terminal and execute sudo dmraid -r (2) note the drives with raid meta data from the previous step, then run sudo dmraid -rE on them (3) start the installer again
• Please see the general Ubuntu release notes for other known issues
