Hi Thomas, Not long after our earlier interaction on the bug, I had had a malware possibility, so I stopped using the PC involved in this bug, & built-up a different PC on a separate HDD.
At that stage, I had not tried to follow your suggestions for extracting more information about the bug. I also did not want to have that suspect PC operating on my little network, or the internet. A few weeks later, I went away for a few months. Since returning home, I rebuilt the risky PC with Ubuntu 11.04, but without installing MythTV. So, I no longer have a PC with the bug that I submitted. I had marked the bug private, as you had requested some somewhat sensitive information (& either you, or the reporting system, suggested making it private). I have just tried to access the bug record, but it doesn't allow me to access it. This surprises me, as I thought that I, as owner, would have been able to access it. Anyway, I was going to propose that it be closed, as I am no longer able to provide any information about the bug. Regards, Garry.

I have Myth TV 0.24 (combined back- & font-ends) installed on a different PC. I wanted to be able to access the backend from the PC that I am now using. Originally, I installed the package listed in Synaptic (ver 0.23). However, when I tried to set it up, it would not allow me to continue, due to the different database versions (or words to that effect). I then looked up how to get a PPA, entered that detail into the synaptic repository sources, & downloaded the update to 0.24. During the installation of the update, mythtv-common failed, reporting these lines of text: setting up mythtv-common (2:0:24.0+fixes.20110507.5d38c49-0ubuntu0mythbuntu2) ... sed: -e expression #1, char 45: unknown option to 's' dpkg: error processing myth-common (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 No apport report written because MaxReports is reached already; There was also this error message: E: mythtv-common: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 E: mythtv-frontend: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured There was enough of MythTV working to be able to set it up. However, it drops to a black screen whenever I use esc. The availability of this remote frontend is not time critical. However, I would like to finalise the setup & be able to say that this task is finished & working. I can appreciate that working with a PPA has risks. After I installed 0.24 on my front & backend PC, I disabled the PPA in the repository source, so that I wouldn't get updates. I plan to move to 11.04 later this month & then allow all updates. I hope that this information is of help. Regards, Garry.
