Apologies, i have tried searching and can notfind a solution. I've just installed R5A10 on my box and am getting a problem once installed it goes to the config where i attempt to add video sources. in australia so choose TV_GRAB_AU and australian frequencies etc. Basically it shows an error that it was unable to update the database. this error below is what i get when i tried running tv_grab au from cammand line and it also showed this error in the graphical setup:


[marten@darkstar ~]$ ssh marten@192.168.1.103

root@mythtv:~# tv_grab_au --configure --loc brisbane
tv_grab_au - (version 0.6 - release 2004-07-19)

using config filename /root/.xmltv/tv_grab_au.conf
Undefined subroutine &main::askQuestion called at /usr/bin/tv_grab_au line 487.
root@mythtv:~#

It said the same thing when i alt-tabbed to xterm when originally trying to setup the video source:

Undefined subroutine &main::askQuestion called at /usr/bin/tv_grab_au line 487.

I dont know what to edit on line 487 to get it to work. I tried re-installing knoppmyth, and also using the TV-GRAB_AU from a site ont the, but knoppmyth appears to allready have the latest version.

Heres my computer specs:

ASUS A7v400-MX MOBO
AMD Sempron 2400
512 MB RAM
ATI Radeon 9250 (PRO i think)
CDRW
DVD ROM
Antec Case
(not sure what the tv card is but linux configures as booktree bt828 or somthin)

Please help someone, i want to make my girlfirend a believer in the media pc !!!!

Wow, thanks for seponding so quick..

With his response, could i simply replace all instances os "AskQuestion" with "ask_choice" using replace utulity in gedit or are there instances where ASkQuestion should be used in this file.

By the way, thanks again for the fast reply!!!!

BTW - Searching for "askQuestion" would have found that other thread for you. It never ceases to amaze me how many times searching for the very words people put in their message titles would have found them the exact info they needed.

- If you're asking about an error message pick the most unique looking term or terms in that message and search for them. You'll often do best with just one word.

- Try to think of two or three ways to rephrase the question and search using those words.

- Try several shallow searches first, until you get a reasonable sized list of threads. Use different phrasings, different keywords from an error message, try with and without "search for all terms" checked, ...

- Once you've got a small list of threads read them! Again, start shallow, if it doesn't look promising move on. However, be prepared to come back and go through the thread with a magnifying glass.

iv'e just tried searching for "askquestion" and "nigelpearson" using both types of search , search for any terms or use queery & search for al terms and i got some i got a few unrelated hits. For askquestion all i get is my own post. I'm not gonna spend hours learning to get aroud te chnages that have been made to this phbb. Usuallly a simple search would come up with the mentioned post without changing a million options, why cant i just do a plain old search.

Sorry i've been up all night messing with this so im very grouchy but i usually don't have any probs searching forums.

I don't know how you could have failed to find this one:

BTW - This is exactly the one Greg refered to.

Don't forget which section of the forum that post is in tjc.
