You also need to run some mythtv executable to populate the database before things will work. It might be mythtv-setup, I forget. This should be added to the instructions. Try a fresh install up to the point where the backend starts and the frontend starts without complaining. I know there are one or two more steps. Is the problem that more than one database is supported? I always thought there should be some distro policy. Maybe you set your preferred database somewhere, then any databases could be created for you, with a random password, say. It's very strange that all rpm packages are meant to be usable out of the box except for ones that use databases. To me, databases installation should also be automated. But, I guess now this is getting off the topic of mythtv, sorry. Another example is that I think you had to run XFdrake to setup X before it was useable, but maybe this is fixed now. At least in Debian-based systems the default seemed to be to configure automatically. - -- Sincerely, David Walluck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mandriva - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFtQwdN5thZBYlTwkRAiiUAJ9Ab5be4KBl99fEicMa/HQtwf3WaACfRtp6 LeW3FeE5LgsIKTtZptIjPbA= =2Ll1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ PLF-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://www.zarb.org/mailman/listinfo/plf-discuss
