<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Please forgive me if these are dumb questions… I’m
a total newbie with linux so I’m really struggling. I’ve
loaded mythtv using the Knoppix distro. I appear to have a good install
but seem to have hit some roadblocks. Here are some of the problems I’m
seeing: First and foremost, when I select live TV I get a black
screen. I am getting channel listings. Often when I escape out of
an area, I get a message stating the backend isn’t running – is the
ip correct? I have no idea why the backend wouldn’t be running.
I basically have a default install at this point so probably I’m missing
many things – frankly I don’t know. I don’t appear to
be able to play vcds or listen to music cds either. If I put a cd or vcd
into my cd drive it doesn’t seem like Myth sees it at all. Therefore
I can’t import either. Not sure what to do at this point. My
video is a Rage 128 and my capture card is Leadtek Winfast TV 2000Xp Expert.
I haven’t even begun to try working with the remote at this point but
judging from my experience so far I’ll have issues there too although I read
that this card will work. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
