Prior to 0.21 it worked great. It also works great when booted into Windows running the MythTV Player for Windows and the NetFlix streaming service so I'm confident there isn't anything wrong with the hardware.
I noticed, following through the above flow, that this one machine was still using the 2006.0 desktop profile whereas my other machines that work fine (albeit very different hardware) are all 2007.0 desktop machines. That gave me an opportunity to put some of this thread to work. 1) The machine was completely clean with the flow above using 2006.0. 2) I switched to 2007.0 desktop and emerge -DuN world wanted to rebuild 39 packages. 3) I switched back to 2006.0 and the machine is clean again, as it should be. I just wanted the sanity check. 4) I switched into 2007.0 desktop and did an emerge -pvDuN system (instead of world) and saw that it wanted to rebuild 9 packages so I've decided to do that first, then sync again, and then look at emerge -DuN world again to see what, if anything, changes. No idea if this will fix my machine's MythTV problems but it's probably a good thing to do anyway. Cheers, Mark -- [email protected] mailing list
