That sounds like exactly the problem I'm experiencing. I'm using the
Ubuntu nvidia-glx driver, which I believe is 8774 (perhaps another
Ubuntu user will correct me if I'm wrong). Any ideas why the Ubuntu package would be causing such a severe and yet infrequent bug when it's the same driver version as the nvidia package (it's 8774 as well, correct?)<br><br>

<br>><br>><br>> I've had the same. Entering the EPG is no problem, but leaving back to<br>> LiveTV crashed the whole system. It still reacted to a ping, but<br>> apart from that the system was dead. Not even telnet was possible.
<br>><br>> I have to admit, though, I don't remember which version of MythTV I<br>> had that problem with. And I'm not feeling adventurous enough to try<br>> it again...<br>><br>> I remember the screen was split into half, one part displaying the
<br>> EPG, the other half something else. And the small Live-TV box was<br>> black with some white text in it. And I didn't have to repair the<br>> database...<br>><br>> No Ubuntu here. Which version of the nvidia-driver are you using? I'm
<br>> using 1.0-8774.<br>><br>> Anyone else having (had) this problem?<br>><br>> Mike<br><br>I had the problem; if I remember well, I solved it by removing all<br>ubuntu nvidia packages and installing the nvidia drivers from the newest
<br>version from the nvidia download page.<br><br>I also have some stability problems which seem to be much better if I<br>do not use OpenGL (for example, shutting down does not work as well as<br>before; with OpenGL when choosing "Shut down" always the menues
<br>disappear but the background then stays forever). But I do not use the<br>system very much and I have not collected any useful data.<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>mythtv-users mailing list<br>
