Sounds to me like a sort of database corruption. Hopefully you don't have any recordings in there that you want to keep, try this (as root)
Mysql -u root mysql Mysql> drop database mythconverg; Mysql> quit After that, re-run the script to recreate the database and try a mythtv-setup again. If you like, you can try to do a mysqldump before you kill the database to backup the data; Mysqldump -u root mythconverg > mythdump.sql Then you do the stuff above to trash the database. You can then use the mythdump.sql to put the data back, but chances are if the db is corrupted then it's probably only going to copy over the corruption again. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Karsten Jeppesen Sent: Sunday, May 22, 2005 1:24 PM To: Discussion about mythtv Subject: Re: [mythtv-users] mythfrontend problems From what you write I can't see if mythbackend is running, but you can not run mythtv-setup while the backend is running.
