Mythbuntu 8.10 Alpha 6 is on the prowl

news

Without further adu, allow me to introduce Mythbuntu 8.10 alpha 6. With this release, we are providing mirroring on sponsored mirrors only.

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 Mythbuntu 8.10 Alpha 4: (yes that's right, no alpha 5)

Stability

* Lots of bug fixes across the board in Ubiquity and Mythbuntu Control Centre.
* Bug fixes for MythTV
* General bug fixes :)

Testing PPA

* We are introducing a testing PPA. This PPA will contain software that is either not in the repositories, or is a more current version that what is in the repositories. This PPA will not contain updated MythTV packages, but instead will contain new and updated packages for programs such as MythExport, MythNetTv, and MythVideo-Bulk-Updater. Information on this PPA is located here

For 8.10 Users, the Weekly builds PPA will be released near the release of Intrepid. The weekly builds PPA maintained by Mythbuntu is for 8.04 users only.

For more detailed feature information please visit us on launchpad

We appreciated all comments and would love to hear what you think. Please make comments to our mailing list, on the forums (with a tag indicating that this is from 8.10 or intrepid), or in #ubuntu-mythtv.

As previously,
If you encounter any issues with anything in this release (including ubiquity), please file a bug on launchpad:

Known issues

* Diskless is still broken. Diskless clients are unable to boot. This should be fixed by the beta release.
* Restricted drivers don't load on the first boot. This can be fixed by running "depmod -a" after logging in.
* Alternate disks are broken and will be fixed in the next day or so. Keep an eye here for them.
