It looks like you ran mythsetup as root, you'll need to rerun it as your
myth user. Setup your tuner settings for your input card. Also, I would
try setting it so that your video directory (I'm guessing /var/video)
has read/write access for your user. Give that a shot.
Don't worry about the hair, I'm the president of Hair-Regrow, Inc as
well as a client! :)
Good luck!

What I ended up doing was actually starting mythbackend and
mythfrontend as the user who was going to access the system (mythuser
in my case), and I no longer loss LiveTV ability.
The socket problem *I believe* is related to the fact that the system
is attempting to access the capture device and does not have accesss
to it. As far as I know, solutions to this would be to run
mythfrontend as SUID root or to run the frontend/backed as the user.
I don't know if this is a catchall, but try it out and let me know if
it works for you. Good luck!
Sorry 'bout your hair :)
I'm trying your tip right now. I first got a message about mythbackend
being unable to access the file /var/video/nfslockfile.lock. That one
was trivial, I just did a chmod a+w on that file. Now, when I start
mythbackend from Konsole, I get this message:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ mythbackend

Error getting inputs for the capturecard. Perhaps you have
forgotten to bind video sources to your card's inputs?
2005-07-29 16:09:21.789 Channel(/dev/v4l/video0): CheckChannel failed.
Please verify channel "3" in the "setup" Channel Editor.
Starting mythfrontend and try to watch TV now, I get a black screen with
the message "1: composite 0" appearing briefly in the upper left corner
in large letters.
I guess that binding video sources to my card's inputs is easy when you
know how to do it, but could you please give me a hint on that one too?
