This is to capture information about my current hardware and setup as it may be useful to other new or inexperienced users.
- $130 Intel Core i3-12100 3.3 GHz Quad-Core LGA 1700 Processor
- $90 Athena Power AP-MFATX40P8 400W]
- $121 MSI PRO B660M-A DDR4 LGA 1700 Intel SATA 6Gb/s Micro ATX
- $56 SAMSUNG 980 SSD 500GB PCle 3.0x4, NVMe M.2 2280, MZ-V8V500B/AM
- $85 Corsair vengeance 32GB
Total $482
I have these selected at https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vf9nqm
Hoping that these will be suitable with the case I already have Rosewill R379-M MATX
My current plan is to install Ubuntu 22.04
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/nvme0n1 Disk /dev/nvme0n1: 465.76 GiB, 500107862016 bytes, 976773168 sectors Disk model: Samsung SSD 980 500GB Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 16384 bytes / 131072 bytes
Partitioning
- apparently UEFI Bios tries to find a partition in a GPT-partitioned boot device. This partition needs to be tagged with "EFI System" and also needs to be formatted with FAT filesystem.
- I ran "sudo gparted &"
- used Device menu to create partition table to gpt
- followed https://askubuntu.com/a/743098
Installing Ubuntu
- normal installation, download updates while installing, install third-party software & Secure Boot (chose password)
- installation type / something else
- chose /dev/mapper/main-vg-swap as a swap partition using "Change..." button, selected /dev/mapper/main-vg-root for boot loader installation, placed cursor on /dev/mapper/main-vg-root > "change..." to ext4 journalling file system, format the partition, mount point:/boot --- /dev/mapper/main-vg-systemA to ext4 journaling file system, format the partition, mount point:/
MythTV
i'm installing MythTV via the Mythbuntu Control Panel.
I'm following instructions at Mythbuntu_Control_Panel.
- sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mythcp/mcp
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt install mythbuntu-control-panel
The first sudo needed my password, but the others were executed soon enough that I didn't need to enter it again.
- launched Mythbuntu Control Panel
- went to *Repositories* tab
- checked box "Activate MythTV Updates repository"
- selected version 32
- checkbox for "Activate Mythbuntu Control Panel repository" was *already* checked
- clicked "Apply" box
A summary of the changes that will be applied is below: Repositories: - Reconfigure (as root) the following items: MythTV-Updates-Repo MythTV-Updates-Activated Repo-list
- clicked "Apply"
- it required my password, then popped-up a progress bar, then returned to the control panel.
- exited Mythbuntu Control Panel
- opened Software Updater. saw some updates, but nothing related to MythTV ... hmmm ...
