My final post on MythTV revolves around tweaking MythTV and Ubuntu. I’ve picked up a number of ideas from a variety of sites and compiled the tricks, tips, hacks, and configurations that work best for my setup. You can read my first MythTV post on hardware and my second post on Ubuntu and MythTV installation and setup for background on the particulars of my setup.
I ran into the same problem in each of the two Ubuntu installs that I recently completed. The initial install failed, and the RAID arrays I had setup could not be deleted. This became a seemingly insurmountable obstacle in the way of completing the install process. In the first instance I finally did a complete wipe of all hard drives that had any part of the RAID configuration. Not wanting to go through that long process again I delved into finding a more sensible solution.
Less than a year ago I ventured into the realm of MythTV. My previous ramblings on the subject dealt almost entirely with the hardware end of things. I decided to use the lasted releases of Ubuntu and MythTV as an excuse to recreate the entire system, learning from the first experience, and documenting my setup and configuration to create this MythTV install guide.

We had a wonderful honeymoon. We started in Providence, Rhode Island before flying to the tip of Michigan’s lower peninsula. From there we took a ferry to Mackinac Island. Since 1898, motorized vehicles have been outlawed on Mackinac Island; although, some exceptions have been made. The island is home to more than 600 horses, which in the absence of cars, are the only way of transporting goods and large groups of tourists. However, the most popular mode of transportation in the summer is bicycle.
On December 14, 1774 Portsmouth, New Hampshire merchant and prominent businessman, John Langdon, led a crowd of rebels to Fort William and Mary (later renamed Fort Constitution) to overtake the fort and confiscate the gunpowder stored there. The crowed stormed the fort before shots could be fired, and after hand-to-hand combat, the fort was taken. John Langdon later became a governor of New Hampshire, a signer of the United States Constitution, a United States Senator, and the first President Pro Tempore of the United States Senate. The Governor John Langdon House is where Leah and I held our wedding reception.
