Me thinks it's something that has changed in recent CVS. I have the same problem and the permissions are all world readable for /proc/swap.

 Swap shows just fine for me, as of a CVS version from about a week
 ago. Perhaps when you upgraded the setuid bit was lost, and the user
 you're running mythfrontend as can get to /proc ?

So how could I fix that?


First:

  ls -ld /proc

If you see something like:

  dr-xr-x---  219 root system 0 May 31 09:37 /proc

then the mode "dr-xr-x---" means that only root and people in the group called "system" can read /proc. One way around this would be to add whatever user you run mythfrontend as to the system group. (pico /etc/group)

Another way would be to use setuid on mythfrontend. Have a look at Jarod's guide. I'm sure it's in there somewhere.

If the mode on the directory is already "dr-xr-xr-x", then this probably isn't your problem.
