Hi,<br><br>On my gentoo laptop I have emerged mythtv 0.20 11647 (using a overlay<br>from <a href="http://integralblue.com">integralblue.com</a>) with frontendonly flag, I run the frontend<br>with QT or OpenGL painter and I get no display at all, just a load of
<br>errors in the xterm:<br><br>QMYSQL3: Unable to connect<br>Database error was:<br>Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket<br>'/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)<br><br></blockquote></div><br>It looks that you have not told the frontend where to find your database and it is trying to connect to the local machine.
<br><br>I believe you need to set this in /etc/mythtv/my.cnf and possibly ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt<br><br>John<br>
