todat, the mythtv saga continues.
next command in the how-to says
[root@localhost ~]# yum update
….

Upsie daisy. Ok, I admit, I spent about 1 hour, finding the same shitty 3 post news thread from atrps on a dozen sites and the it finally hit me: god damn freaking priorities. They surealy are bad when you use a lot of test and 3rd party repos. Ok, so I disabled it entirely.
Now, at this stage you must make sure you remember: your system is f*cked up. It has packages from different repos, test repositories. Unstable, not completely tested and so on.
now, back to our screwed up system. we need to do some cleaning. First, lets remove all the conflicting packages.
[root@localhost ~]# yum remove libquicktime-1.2.1-1.el5.rf.i386 opal-2.2.2-1.1.0.1.i386 ekiga-2.0.2-7.0.2.i386 ekiga-2.0.2-7.0.2.i386
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa | grep pwlib
pwlib-1.10.1-7.0.1.el5
[root@localhost ~]# yum erase pwlib-1.10.1-7.0.1.el5
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa | grep libx264
libx264_114-0.114-15_20110308.2245.el5
[root@localhost ~]# yum erase libx264_114-0.114-15_20110308.2245.el5
yum install still gives the same old crap.
what next? fucking windows, that’s what’s nexts. How the fuck can you build a software that cannot be installed on a fresh system? Seriously. I tried knoppmyth, mythtv, freevo and a bunch of other linux based dvr/pvr but NONE worked nor installed right. Are you linux people really that fucked up? Only stuff from base repos are really working. isn’t there any serious guy out there with a 3rd party repo that is properly kept in sync and relatively uptodate? How the hell are you expecting to get linux out to the masses when a fucking linux sysadmin can’t install your freaking software?
I wasted weeks on this shit you idiots. WEEKS. Windows solution is slow but at least IT WORKS.
So eat shit, you twits.
