| Post subject: | Upgrade to 5.5, soon have black screen watching TV |
After an autoupgrade to 5.5, everything was fine for a bit, but after recording a couple of programs, I got the black screen while watching TV syndrome. The first program recorded without a problem. The next one seemed to record, and the thumbnail video plays, but when I try to watch it I get the black screen. Same if I go to watch TV from the main menu. I have to use <Ctl><Alt><Backspace> to restart KM. All the settings seem to agree with my hardware, the only clue I have is from the xsession-errors log: Code: Xsession: X session started for mythtv at Sun Oct 12 16:52:32 PDT 2008
BScreen::BScreen: managing screen 0 using visual 0x21, depth 24 X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode of failed request: 142 (XVideo) Minor opcode of failed request: 13 () Serial number of failed request: 11 Current serial number in output stream: 12 Found Xv 2.2 PORT=5900 mysqldump: Got error: 1086: File '/tmp/videosource.txt' already exists when executing 'SELECT INTO OUTFILE' /bin/rm: cannot remove `/tmp/videosource.txt': Operation not permitted 2008-10-12 16:52:33.584 Using runtime prefix = /usr 2008-10-12 16:52:34.198 DPMS is disabled. 2008-10-12 16:52:34.199 Empty LocalHostName. 2008-10-12 16:52:34.199 Using localhost value of mythtv 2008-10-12 16:52:34.223 New DB connection, total: 1 2008-10-12 16:52:34.230 Connected to database 'mythconverg' at host: localhost 2008-10-12 16:52:34.233 Closing DB connection named 'DBManager0' 2008-10-12 16:52:34.235 Primary screen 0. 2008-10-12 16:52:34.235 Connected to database 'mythconverg' at host: localhost 2008-10-12 16:52:34.238 Running in a window 2008-10-12 16:52:34.238 Using screen 0, 1024x768 at 0,0 Failed to read: session.screen0.titlebar.left Setting default value Failed to read: session.screen0.titlebar.right Setting default value Hope that will mean something to someone! Hardware includes a pcHDTV 5500 and GeForce FX 5500 video card (with current nVidia driver). Thank you! |

Start by removing "/tmp/videosource.txt" Mike |

Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to have helped. The file is regenerated and so is the error message. Strangely, permissions on that file are R/W for all users. Also, the tuner is set properly in setup, but if I run Code: dmesg | grep "tuner model" I get nothing.

I wonder how this is installation related... The logs you need to investigate are in /var/log/mythtv. You can also start the frontend from an xterm and see what it spits out after the failure. There articles on the wiki on troubleshooting. |

Well, I thought it may have been related to the upgrade, but as it turns out, the tuner died. Installed new tuner and (nearly) all is fine. |
