I am having an issue with a new FE build. To start, it's an Optiplex 760 w/
Mythbuntu 9.04 x64. It is using an Intel onboard video:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset
Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
And a Creative Audigy 5.1 with SPDIF out:
03:02.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy (rev 03)
For the video, I'm using the method posted here for drivers:

This has been giving me a great video experience, that is, until a couple
days ago. I was watching a recording off of my HD PBS channel (47.1). It
was the National Parks special. I had watched a few episodes without
issue. At one point during a recording, the recording just stopped
playing. I tried to bring up the INFO display and it didn't come up. I
tried to ping the FE, and it did respond. So I assumed it was something
else. Possibly the recording was screwy. The FE finally stopped the
recording, and I was able to start the recording over again. Then the next
night, it happened again. Then today it's happened a couple times but this
time on a 30 minute non-HD (but digital channel 47.3) recording. So I tried
the ping, and it responded fine. However, I tried to SSH and VNC into the
FE, and it didn't respond. I looked at dmesg and the messages log and they
didn't show any errors. So I thought, maybe it was something with the FE.
I ran a:
mythfrontend -v all -l /home/user/mfe.log
And that's not showing any errors. The FE finally stopped the playback and
went back to the Recordings menu. This hasn't happened on a different HD
recording on a different digital channel (43.1). Is this just possibly an
error in the digital channels broadcast? Does anyone have any ideas what
this could be? Any ideas on what other logs I could look at? Thanks!
Jim
