Hi Folks, I just installed mythtv on ubuntu 8.04.

When I run mythtv backend setup I get some confusing dialog boxes.

The first is: 'No UPnP Backends found'

Second dialog box: 'Database Configuration 1/2'

'Hostame: Localhost' 'Ping test server? Port_____' 'Database Name: mythconverg' 'User:MythTV' 'Password:qpfod4xg'

Third Dialog Box: 'Us custom identifier for frontend preferences?' 'Enable database server wakeup/'

Forth Dialog box: 'Cannot log into database.

Can someone tell me if this is normal and what should I answer the questions with?

Thanks P

OK, I am not smart enough to get this set up. Can someone tell me how to completely uninstall Mythbuntu and get back to my ubuntu. I promise to go away.

You can just get your ubuntu CD and install from it.
