 |

On a fresh install I can't get mythtv to work. I followed the wiki: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/MythTV
Here's what happens when I try to run setup:

If lspci, emerge --info, kernel config files would be useful, I can post 'em.
thanks for any suggestions.

Yeah, lspci, emerge --info, xorg.conf, and at least multimedia section of kernel config would be necessary to start to troubleshoot. (Keep in mind that current ~x86/~amd64 portage ebuild, media-tv/mythtv-0.21_p19961-r1 isn't working, however this isn't your problem as the bug with this only affects mythfrontend, you're trying to set-up which should still work with this build.)

Sometimes mythtv-setup has troubles on multicore/smp boxes. You could start it and use the "taskset" command to tell it to only use one CPU. Taskset command is part of schedutils, which is now in sys-apps/util-linux, so you probably already have it.
You could also install strace, and run strace mythtv-setup
It will show loads of debug output, and can point you to where it's choking.
Good luck.

Hmm, sorry man, not too sure. I can't tell what I'm looking at either with the strace. Sometimes you see something obvious, like a certain file trying to be loaded or something.
Does mytv-setup segfault while you're trying to use it, or does it die before it even opens?
Thanks,
Greg

I think I have the same problem. It happens with mythtv-setup, mythfontend or mythwelcome. Nothing "graphical" appears on the screen at all. I suspect it's to do with qt, or x, or perhaps the default theme.
I tried downgrading mythtv from p19961-r1 to p18314-r1 and it doesn't change anything (I also have p19961-r1 working perfectly on another machine).
A suggestion from another forum is to try and run it remotely, so it uses the x server from a different machine (e.g. using "ssh -X" or rlogin, etc). If it works it could help narrow down the problem. I haven't quite figured out how to get this to work yet. |

To use X over ssh, you need to have X forwarding enabled.
Make sure this is enabled in your /etc/ssh/sshd_config file: X11Forwarding yes
Then all you need to do is ssh to the box normally (from another Linux box), but with the -X switch.
ssh -X -l username hostname
Then give it a try by running xclock in the SSH session.
It should spawn a little analog clock on machine.
Now you can run mythtv-setup and it will run the program using the xserver of your desktop machine, rather than the mythtv box.

Hi,
For graphical session, you might want to look in the NX direction as well, which is fairly efficient 
Regards,
Maxime

OK. I can run mythtv-setup successfully remotely (i.e. mythtv-setup running on the problematic machine, but the x server provided by a different one). So it looks like something to do with x, or the video driver, etc.
Now scratching my head wondering what to check next... I'll take a closer look at the video drivers and the kernel setup. I'll let you know how I get on.
btw thanks Maxime for suggesting nx. Looks interesting. Will have a play with it soon. |

I don't think you have to worry about anything with the kernel.
I would focus on X or your video driver.
You might even want to consider doing a deep emerge on mythtv ( emerge -D mythtv ) to recompile all the down stream dependencies in case myth was compiled against some library that was updated after myth was installed. That's one downside to Gentoo, dependent libraries getting out of whack.
I also noticed in your emerge info that you have 3dnow in your use flags, but are using an Intel chip. Not sure if it matters, but 3dnow is for AMD chips. Probably won't hurt anything.
Also, your VIDEO_CARDS and ALSA_CARDS in make.conf don't seem to be set, emerge info is showing what looks like all the defaults. Again, I don't think would hurt anything though.

Check you OpenGL implementation by running | Code: | | eselect opengl list |
You should be running the Nvidia implementation, but since you said that this is a fresh install, I suspect your running the xorg-x11 version.
I ran into the same problem recently on a fresh install as well.
Just run | Code: | | eselect opengl set nvidia |
. Lemmie know if that does the trick. |

It appears that X and the video drivers were the problem.
I started over with another fresh install. I compiled xorg-server with:
I installed the nvidia-driver-173.14.15 for FX5200 video card.
lastly, I added:
| Quote: | Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"
|
to /etc/X11/xorg.conf as noted in xorg 1.5 upgrade guide.
I'm wondering what ill effects I will suffer with the lack of hald running, but Mythtv is all good.
Thanks to all for the help. |
