You need to start and stop daemons as root... Based on the prompts shown you were trying as mythtv without using sudo which just isn't going to work.

Oh, I assumed MythTV started them. Nonetheless, if you look at my quote, I did also use sudo & got a different error. I get the same seg fault if I log in as root and try it that way. Any ideas? I'm confused as I can't think what changed other than the nVidia drivers. Well, ok, I also did an

in anticipation of upgrading mplayer per the wiki article below. I did not, however, do any other steps in that article other than install git-core. I can't think of anything else that might have changed. I tried rebooting the server, no difference.
