Upgrading Mythbuntu to 8.10

Posted on November 3rd, 2008 by

Just this friday, Ubuntu and all the related distributions, including Mythbuntu had version 8.10 released.

I have a few links for you in case you are wondering how smooth an upgrade it is.

LifeHacker has a look at Ubuntu 8.10:

And on the MythTV user mailinglist there are two threads describing the upgrade:

    It should be noted that if you are running an older nvidia card like a geforce4 series card you should not plan on upgrading because the new X.org is not compatible with with the legacy driver so you will be forced to revert to the ‘nv’ driver. And the ‘nv’ driver doesn’t support TV out or at least the in the same way that the proprietary nvidia driver does. I am really surprised that no one seems to be complaining about this considering the popularity of the low end nvidia cards for myth.
