news

Today we are introducing the Mythbuntu 8.04 beta image. With this release, we are providing mirroring on sponsored mirrors as well as torrents.

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 4:

Alternate Install Disks

* With this release, we are again providing Alternate Install disks. As with all Ubuntu Alternate Disks, this disk does not include the Live environment, but instead uses a text-based installer. This disk is available on official Ubuntu mirrors (linked below)

Stability

* Lots of bug fixes across the board in Ubiquity and Mythbuntu Control Centre.
* Several MythTV bugs that were sent upstream got fixed.

Diskless support

* Diskless support is now in Beta. The MCC interface for it is now available, but documentation still needs to be written. If you experience problems with the MCC interface or with Mythbuntu-diskless in general, go here:

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 8.04 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:
