Mythtv in Ubuntu's future?

[bstil]

I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu Warty on a desktop with a PVR-250. 
Then I did apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade.

Then I added universe and multiverse to sources.list.  Then apt-get
update.  Then apt-get install mythtv.

Then I got some confusing notices about a mythtv user and then from
root console I ran mythtv-setup.  From that point I had the blue mythtv
setup screen with five options... and no mouse!  I had to navigate with
keyboard.  And more confusion and then item 4 aborted with an error
message:

mythtv: could not connect to socket
mythtv: No such file or directory
lirc_init failed for mythtv, see preceding messages
Couldn't open Segmentation fault

In addition, in items 2 and 3 I couldn't seem to delete extra items
that got added accidentially with the keyboard input method.  

This reminds me of trying to setup Gnome on Debian Woody before Ubuntu
came along......  ](*,)
