mythtv install problem
I'm trying to install mythtv on a HDD install of Knoppix, but get the following error:
W: Couldn't stat source package list http://www.penguinppc.org ./ Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/www.penguinppc.org_%7edaniels_sid_i386_._Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
apt-get update gives a similar problem. Can someone help with a solution?
Thanks

I know this is not an answer, but there is a knoppix remaster called KnoppMyth just to make easy the MythTv installation.
Once you boot the CD you can select to install the whole distro with MythTV on your HD (this is necessary if you want to run the MythTV server) or to run the mythTV client right fron the CD.
You can find it at http://www.mysettopbox.tv/knoppmyth.html

garubi,
Thanks I have the Knoppmyth iso. But since I have a HDD install wanted to maintain the full Knoppix install and add Mythtv.
I am getting the same error when trying to update knoppix to the latest version. Is there a sever problem still with Debian?
Cheers

The packages for Xfree86 have moved from their to the Debian offical experimental archive now you need to comment out the line for the penguinppc in the /etc/apt/sources.list and install the packages from experimental. eg.
I the /etc/apt/sources.list:
To find the packages you need to upgrade:
Code:
>$ COLUMNS=150 dpkg -l | grep 4.3.0
ii libdps1 4.3.0-0ds4 Display PostScript (DPS) client library
ii libxaw7 4.3.0-0ds4 X Athena widget set library
ii xbase-clients 4.3.0-0ds4 miscellaneous X clients
ii xfonts-100dpi 4.3.0-0ds4 100 dpi fonts for X
ii xfonts-100dpi-transcoded 4.3.0-0ds4 100 dpi fonts for X (transcoded from ISO 10646-1)
ii xfonts-75dpi 4.3.0-0ds4 75 dpi fonts for X
ii xfonts-75dpi-transcoded 4.3.0-0ds4 75 dpi fonts for X (transcoded from ISO 10646-1)
ii xfonts-base 4.3.0-0ds4 standard fonts for X
ii xfonts-base-transcoded 4.3.0-0ds4 standard fonts for X (transcoded from ISO 10646-1)
ii xfonts-scalable 4.3.0-0ds4 scalable fonts for X
ii xfree86-common 4.3.0-0ds4 X Window System (XFree86) infrastructure
ii xfs 4.3.0-0ds4 X font server
ii xlibs 4.3.0-0ds4 X Window System client libraries
ii xlibs-data 4.3.0-0ds4 X Window System client data
ii xlibs-dev 4.3.0-0ds4 X Window System client library development files
ii xserver-common 4.3.0-0ds4 files and utilities common to all X servers
ii xserver-xfree86 4.3.0-0ds4 the XFree86 X server
ii xutils 4.3.0-0ds4 X Window System utility programs
To upgrade the Xserver you need to update the database after the changes in the /etc/apt/sources.list file then install with this:
Code:
dselect update
apt-get -s install -t experimental xutils xserver-xfree86 xserver-common xlibs-dev xlibs-data xlibs xfree86-common xfonts-scalable xfonts-base-transcoded xfonts-base xfonts-75dpi-transcoded xfonts-75dpi xfonts-100dpi xfonts-100dpi-transcoded xbase-clients libxaw7 libdps1
If everything looks good with the simulated apt-get command then remove the -s from the line to actually install the packages.
If there are any people.debian.org lines in the /etc/apt/sources.list file you should comment out them as well the servers are down at the moment.
Note: You can leave the packages for the Xserver that you have installed for the moment if you wish but you will have to upgrade eventually, just comment out the penguinppc line and any people.debian.org lines in the /etc/apt/sources.list and then dselect update to update the apt & dselect database and it should work now.

Stephen,
Thanks for that very detailed repy, I will try it tonight. I figured something like this had happened. I am using the 3.3 2003-11-14 iso, would this have been taken care of in the 11-19 release.?
I am curious as I am totally new to Linux and just trying to figure out how the apt-get works.
Thanks again for your time.
