For this one, you have some sort of error with lirc not being compiled or loaded properly. There should be an lirc entry in modprobe.conf (or whatever your distro uses)... Also check the output of lsmod. 2005-10-03 18:16:31.578 Joystick disabled. 2005-10-03 18:16:31.739 New DB connection, total: 2 2005-10-03 18:16:31.766 Connecting to backend server: 127.0.0.1:6543<http://127.0.0.1:6543>(try 1 of 5) Connection timed out. You probably should modify the Master Server settings in the setup program and set the proper IP address. 2005-10-03 18:16:34.122 Changing from None to None I am thoroughly convinced that mythtv-setup does NOT work properly. Every time I have tried to make any changes to the name or IP of the mythtv system it has failed. And attempting to change back will not work either. First check that you have a ~/mythtv/.mythtv/mysql.txt file and that it has the correct entries. Also check whether there is a similar file under /root/.mythtv/ Chances are that they differ. If you have done an 'su' to fix something and forgotten to exit before calling mythtv-setup, then you will likely be using the wrong file! If that does not work, I suggest that, as root, you delete the mythconverg folder and start again by running the mc.sql script. You can run that as individual commands in mysql after logging in with 'mysql -u root -p <enter>' and giving your password. >From my experience, there is no easy way to correct these errors. The Mythtv how-to describes how to dump and restore the database. (About Chapter 22.5 or so). Not particularly easy to do but worthwhile if you must save the data. If you are just setting up then there is no real data yet. I changed the backend to localhost, mythtv, 127.0.0.1 <http://127.0.0.1>, and my actual ip. I got this error for actual IP 2005-10-03 18:21:40.952 Database not open while trying to save setting: Language 2005-10-03 18:21:40.953 Unable to connect to database! 2005-10-03 18:21:40.953 Driver error was [1/1130]: QMYSQL3: Unable to connect Database error was: Host '192.168.1.103 <http://192.168.1.103>' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server This says that host '192.168.1.103' is not a proper mysql user....there are probably only 2 proper users: mythtv ('granted' by the mc.sql script and the mysql root user. for localhost, 127.0.0.1 <http://127.0.0.1> and mythtv I get: 2005-10-03 18:23:36.950 Writing settings file /root/.mythtv/mysql.txt QInputContext: cannot create input context for non-toplevel widgets QInputContext: cannot create input context for non-toplevel widgets 2005-10-03 18:23:36.954 Unable to connect to database! 2005-10-03 18:23:36.954 Driver error was [1/2003]: QMYSQL3: Unable to connect Database error was: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'mythtv' (111) This seems to say that you have named the host machine as 'mythtv' (rather than being user [EMAIL PROTECTED]) If you sign in to mysql as root you can run "select * from settings;' which will show you all of the entries in the settings 'database' (form). There are 450 odd entries. The third column is "hostname". After running into the same sort of error and attempting to go back to using 'localhost', I had 179 entries still with the old and wrong hostname... I had to use a Replace command in mysql to change those entries... This had the unfortunate side effect of apparently also deleting all of the settings. I had attempted the replacement route as a surrogate for just deleting mythconverg and starting again. And I bought O'Reilly: Mysql in a Nutshell yesterday afternoon... Geoff R.
