I created a directory called "/var/log/mythtv", and made sure that
mythtv has write permissions to it, and restarted several times, but
still there are no logs there. Sorry if this is a dumb
question but: where are the mythtv logs supposed to be?<br><br>2. live
tv is not working ... I get a blank screen for a few seconds and it
returns to the menu. This process seems to break the
connection between the frontend and backend (i.e., If I try to do other
things after attempting livetv, mythtv informs me that the backend is
not running or is improperly configured ). Everything else
works great. I've searched for other posts about this, but
they seem to address much earlier versions of myth or are otherwise
inapplicable (whole system crashes, for example).<br><br>my system: $
200 wal mart box with ubuntu hoary, mythtv 0.18.1 compiled from source,
PVR-250 [although live tv showed the same exact symptoms with a PVR-150
installed]<br><br>If I can solve # 1, I'll send more information and hopefully solve problem # 2!<br>thanks,<br>Mary<br>mstrimel(at)comcast(dot)net<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>_______________________________________________

</a><br><br><br></blockquote></div>As for your logging question, be sure to pass -l /var/log/mythtv/logfilename to the frontend and backend. For example:<br>
mythfrontend -l /var/log/mythtv/mythtvfrontend.log<br>
mythbackend -l /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log<br>
