Post subject:  Issues after upgrade to R5D1
I had 2 issues with the upgrade. My /myth mount never mounted after the upgrade because it was formatted as xfs and /etc/fstab is looking for it to be ext3. After updating, I was able to access the Myth Frontend.

However, after a subsequent reboot, I can no longer get into the Myth Front End. Did something not get restored correctly. I tried to execute from a shell and I just get that it can't access the display. Flutbox does load.

Any help? Anything I can provide to help diagnose this issue? I do not see any messages in the logs (syslogs, myth logs, etc.).

Thanks.

You need to start mythfrontend from and xterm. It will spit out info... It is Fluxbox not Flutbox...

Sorry for the mis-spelling. I am not a regulare Fluxbox user.

I was able to run mythfrontend in an x-term window by pressing ALT-X. I only have a wireless keyboard hooked up, no mouse. So i was having some issues navigating around Fluxbox. When I ran mythfrontend, I received a segmentation fault while mythfrontend was trying to connect to the LCD server. I did see some other posts regarding this but no real resolution, other than restarting with a new install.

I have a VFD/IR combo in my case that came with my Silverstone case. I long have given up on the stock vfd module and only use it for the IR receiver. I am wondering if my mysql backup has that option enabled in the myth setup.

Does anyone know of a solution to get beyond this? I tried moving the /etc/LCDd.conf to another location and removing the init scripts from update-rc.d but I still receive the segmenation fault.

Thanks for your help.

I'd say the solution would be to tell MythTV not to use LCD. Where you using LCD in the previous release?

No. I had given up the VFD module in my case because it was not stable. It would work one day, not the next, Sometimes it would just hold onto the last value it had. Then I would have to power off the machine and actually unplug it from the wall, so that the residual charge could disapate. I use it purely for the IR module on that board.

Here are the insert statements in my back sql:

Code:
INSERT INTO `settings` (`value`, `data`, `hostname`) VALUES ('LCDEnable','1','mythtv');
INSERT INTO `settings` (`value`, `data`, `hostname`) VALUES ('LCDShowTime','1','mythtv');
INSERT INTO `settings` (`value`, `data`, `hostname`) VALUES ('LCDShowMenu','1','mythtv');
INSERT INTO `settings` (`value`, `data`, `hostname`) VALUES ('LCDShowMusic','1','mythtv');
INSERT INTO `settings` (`value`, `data`, `hostname`) VALUES ('LCDShowMusicItems','ArtistTitle','mythtv');
INSERT INTO `settings` (`value`, `data`, `hostname`) VALUES ('LCDShowChannel','1','mythtv');
INSERT INTO `settings` (`value`, `data`, `hostname`) VALUES ('LCDShowRecStatus','1','mythtv');
INSERT INTO `settings` (`value`, `data`, `hostname`) VALUES ('LCDShowVolume','1','mythtv');
INSERT INTO `settings` (`value`, `data`, `hostname`) VALUES ('LCDShowGeneric','1','mythtv');
INSERT INTO `settings` (`value`, `data`, `hostname`) VALUES ('LCDBacklightOn','1','mythtv');
INSERT INTO `settings` (`value`, `data`, `hostname`) VALUES ('LCDHeartBeatOn','1','mythtv');
INSERT INTO `settings` (`value`, `data`, `hostname`) VALUES ('LCDKeyString','ABCDEF','mythtv');
INSERT INTO `settings` (`value`, `data`, `hostname`) VALUES ('LCDPopupTime','5','mythtv');


Can I delete them or should I set them to 0 to disable them? Should i only set the lcdenable to 0?

Also, I saw in another thread that myth uses an LCD server now which was different from the past. Could someone explain the differences. I have an IMON VFD, is it supported under this new way?

Thanks.

Just setting 'LCDEnable' to '0' should do it.

tjc,

Thanks for the help. Setting the LCDEnabled to 0 solved my problem.
