ugh - i hate launchpad. it just lost my entire post.
I went back through my notes. They leave a little to be desired...
At the time I installed the "mythtv" metapackage, I did not have support for my
DVB-T card working.
It is a Dvico model that is not yet supported by the mainline v4l tree. (I got
it working with the branch
made available by Chris Pascoe back in December 2007).
So, I would probably have answered many debconf questions by taking the default.
I don't think I would have given unusable inputs.
I would not have had mysql-5.0-server installed at the time, I would have let
the installation of mythtv
pull it in as a dependency.
My notes tell me:
* I installed "mythtv" and debconf told me I need to run "mythtv-setup" as a
member of the mythtv group.
* I added my unpriviledged account to that group
* I ran sudo /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend start
I answered "no" to the question about "remote access"
* I installed mythexport
* I installed mythwe
I did not set a mythweb password.
* Something prompted me for a "mythtv p/w", which was stored in
/etc/mythtv/mysql.txt.
This appears to be the user for the mythtv tables in the database.
I do not recall getting prompted for a mysql 'administrator/root' user at
this time;
my notes would have recorded the password.
* I ran dpkg-reconfigure lirc
I also went and poked at my debconf database; below I show the output of
debconf-get-selections | grep -A 0 -B 1 mythtv;
debconf-get-selections | grep -A 0 -B 1 mysql
Most of these would be the original answers; the only dpkg-reconfigure changes
I have made
should be in the posts I have already made to this bug.
In particular - mythtv-common:mythtv/mysql_mythtv_password was the value I have
in my notes on paper,
but mythtv-database:mythtv/mysql_admin_password is the value I set when I ran
dpkg-reconfigure.
I don't recall having to set it before and would not have used the same value.
Hope this sheds some light.
