Create Mythbuntu DVD/USB. In order to install Mythbuntu, we first need to download the software and write it to a DVD or a USB flash drive. Download Mythbuntu 14.04.1 64-bit.iso; Burn the.iso file as an image to a DVD-R(RW), or write the image to a USB flash drive. Note that the image is too large to fit on a CD-R(RW). Install Mythbuntu. Boot Mythbuntu 16.04.1 installation image via USB Flash drive created with Startup Disk Creator from Ubuntu 16.04 system, or installation CDROM. Ensure the host name you enter during the install is identical to that on the old system so the restored database will work.
- If the version in the repository is not the latest, you will need to install a PPA. The MythTV PPA has a PPA for each major version of MythTV. Install the ppa using the following command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mythbuntu/XX for example sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mythbuntu/30. Or prior to v30 sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mythbuntu/0.XX.
- Create Mythbuntu DVD/USB. In order to install Mythbuntu, we first need to download the software and write it to a DVD or a USB flash drive. Download Mythbuntu 12.04.2 64-bit.iso; Burn the.iso file as an image to a DVD-R(RW), or write the image to a USB flash drive. Note that the image is too large to fit on a CD-R(RW). Install Mythbuntu.
- Install or upgrade Ubuntu
- Test out the Ubuntu desktop experience without touching your PC configuration
- Boot into Ubuntu on a borrowed machine or from an internet cafe
- Use tools installed by default on the USB stick to repair or fix a broken configuration
Creating a bootable Ubuntu USB stick from Microsoft Windows is very simple and we're going to cover the process in the next few steps.
Alternatively, we also have tutorials to help you create a bootable USB stick from both Ubuntu and Apple macOS.

Mythbuntu is a media centeroperating system based on Ubuntu, integrates the MythTV Media center software as its main function, and does not install with all of the programs included with Ubuntu.
Following the principles of KnoppMyth and MythDora, Mythbuntu is designed to simplify the installation of MythTV on a home theater PC. After Mythbuntu has been installed the MythTV setup program begins in which it can be configured as a frontend (a media viewer), backend (a media server), or combination of the two.
Mythbuntu aims to keep close ties with Ubuntu thus allowing changes to be moved upstream for the greater benefit of the Ubuntu Community.[1] Due to the close link with Ubuntu, easy conversions between desktop and standalone Mythbuntu installations are possible. The development cycle of Mythbuntu originally followed that of Ubuntu, with releases occurring every six months. Starting with 12.04, Mythbuntu releases track Ubuntu's LTS (long-term support) releases, which release approximately every two years.[2]
- 3Different applications of Mythbuntu
Desktop
Mythbuntu uses the Xfce desktop interface by default, but users can install ubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop, or xubuntu-desktop through the Mythbuntu Control Centre, allowing users to get the default interfaces from those flavors of Ubuntu. My current google chrome version. The only software that is included in this release is media-related software such as VLC, Amunix, and Rhythmbox.
Mythbuntu Control Centre
The Mythbuntu Control Centre provides a GUI which can be used to configure the system. The user can select what kind of system (Backend, Frontend, Both) they wish to have installed. Inside the Control Centre, the user can perform common actions such as installing plugins for MythTV, configuring the MySQL database, setting passwords, and installing drivers and codecs. MythTV updates can be enabled here as well as switching to the latest release version or development branch of MythTV. Configuration of remote controls and a range of other utilities and small programs are performed all from within this program.

Different applications of Mythbuntu
Complete installation (front-end and back-end)
Mythbuntu can be used to install a full MythTV system on a single device (acting as both a client and a server). The front-end is the software required for the visual elements (or the GUI) and is utilised by the common user to find, play, and manipulate media files. The back end is the server where the media files, tuners, and database are actually stored. A combined front-and-back-end system may have an advantage in that it has portability: it is a standalone device that is not dependent on a separate server, such as a gaming console.
Front-end-only installations

Alternatively, Mythbuntu can be used to install a MythTV client: a front-end-only system. This might be useful where users already have a central storage server in their home. The central storage device can act as a MythTV server, and the MythTV front-end client software can be installed on devices with low-power hardware. Mythbuntu can also run directly from a CD-ROM (without installation), provided that there is a network connection to a PC with a MythTV back-end server.

Using a server separate from one or more front-end units offers the ability to use multiple clients with simultaneous access to a single repository of shared media files. The server used would generally have hardware of a relatively high specification and can be kept outside of the main living room or other entertainment area of the home. Another advantage is the ability to move some of the potentially noisy hardware out of the living room, as low-noise, high-performance hardware can be expensive.
Adding Mythbuntu to Ubuntu
Mythbuntu is an Ubuntu derivative that offers an easy single-click conversion from Ubuntu to Mythbuntu.[1][3] This means a user no longer needs to type in command line, which can be daunting to new users, or hunt for packages in the various package managers.
