[mythtv-users] mythtv-setup hanging at Video Sources

[James Abernathy]

I was trying to install MythTV and came to the part where I'm setting up
the backend with mythtv-setup and when I select New Video Source it never
responds. I can't exit, and have to switch to a console login (Ctl-Alt-F3)
and reboot.

I have found that if I run mythtv-setup via ssh -X ..., I can run New Video
Source without issue.

So at the end I have it all working but not sure how to figure out what is
happening with Video Sources running on the backend itself.

Here's some particulars.  This is Ubuntu 22.10 on a Raspberry Pi 4 4GB. I
saw the discussions on Mythtv Forum where some folks thought the video
looked fine and wanted to have a complete Ubuntu desktop so they wanted to
avoid the Raspberry PI OS install. On Ubuntu the ppa:mythbuntu/32
repository worked fine.

So I thought it was worth a test.  I'm surprised how well the video looks
running on top of Wayland and GDM inside Gnome 43~.  The install and
configure of Ubuntu 22.10 is slow as ever but when you're updated it runs
pretty well and the Mythfrontend playback of recordings looks very good.
But this hang up in mythtv-setup when NOT using ssh -X is a problem and I
don't know how to provide the right debug information since it's locking me
out.  Maybe running from  another PC on the network an ssh session with
'journalctl -f' and turning verbose on mythtv-setup??

I'd appreciate any help.
