[mythtv-users] Running Mythtv-setup without X

[Johnathon Meichtry]

You don't need to have X installed on your backend.  I don't on mine.  What 
you need is an X server on your PC such as Xmanager from NetSarang 
(www.xmanager.com for 30 day free trial) and combine is with SSH with X 
forwarding.

When you configure xstart to connect to the MBE choose ssh and an execution 
command of "/usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -ls -display $DISPLAY".  You will then get 
a little xterm terminal window and in that you can run mythtv-setup.  It 
takes a while to load over wifi network but it works fine.

It wouldn't be fun, and I haven't tried it, but you ought to be able
to edit the database directly and enter the correct values in
~/.mythtv/mysql.txt
