Are you just setting up your install? If so look at the shell in /etc/passwd. You should be able to just do a su mythtv. Otherwise change the shell that the account is using.

Are you just setting up your install?  .....yes.

This is what /etc/password has;
mythtv:x:75:75:mythtvbackend User:/var/lib/mythtv:/sbin/nologin

Otherwise change the shell that the account is using.
I do not know what this means?

With ":/sbin/nologin" you have prevented this account having an interactive login...
and using "su - mythtv" you are trying to use the login shell.


either change "/sbin/nologin" or just "su" instead of "su -"
