<div dir="ltr">Make sure you have a working network connection. Even if you have the frontend and backend on the same machine, the frontend will complain and bring up the screens you described if it can't reach the backend over the network. If your network is funning fine, then you will want to check and make sure things got done properly with mythtv setup. Make sure the settings for the backend ip address and the mysql settings are right. There is info on checking these things on the mythtv wiki.<br>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">I have a Linux (Ubuntu 8.04 LTS) desktop. Hardware
requirements duly met. MythTV installs (both front and backend), however, when I
fire up the computer I get to the blue config screen, with no mouse control
whatsoever, only the tab key and the enter key works. It starts with a language
preference, then goes into a seemingly preset configuration mode, asking about
ping, mysql, gives a password, then I somehow navigate to finish and the whole
thing freezes there. After a reboot (tried both hot and cold) same scenario,
except it also tells me that no backend was found.</font></div>
