Dear All Not sure if I am breaking protocol by writing to you in this manner so please excuse me if I am and disregard this correspondence.
I found that my problems ceased when I firstly installed 12.04 and then installed 12.10. (This week, I plan to work with another colleague installing 12.10 from on a "blank" machine and then compiling from source MythTV on that machine to see if a number of other problems I am experiencing go away. Related to that, have you, when you have your MythTV running experienced problems with scheduled programs disappearing from the schedule if they are set to "Record this show each week"? Some scheduled programs "stick". Others have to be reset just before a screening for the recording to take place. Next week, they are gone again! I haven't as yet reported it as a bug because it may be that I have just not configured MythTV setup properly. As a final point, something that may be helpful to other enthusiasts, I have discovered there is a fault in the start up script with MythTV in that it checks to see if the network interface is up. If it is not, MythTV fails to start. So if you, as I did, disconnect your notebook from the wall or WiFi and take it to seminar to demonstrate the virtues and value of Open Source Software, it won't work. (Luckily I had plenty of other material to demonstrate!) Correcting the "If then else" clause in the script fixes the problem. Hope this is helpful.

I'm going to let the backend run until it crashes and try it again, maybe that's the trick. ** Attachment added: "NVTECH EMAIL BANNERHEAD 800X139.jpg" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1077536/+attachment/3543756/+files/NVTECH%20EMAIL%20BANNERHEAD%20800X139.jpg -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1077536 Title: MythTV Backend Configuration Application shows Terminal Screen instead of Graphical User Interface To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mythtv/+bug/1077536/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
