</div>It might still be about database credentials. What happens when you do:<br>
"mysql -h127.0.0.1 -umythtv -pcrap0 mythconverg<br>
<br>
Confusingly, mysql client's idea of what "localhost" is is not the same<br>
as Myth's. MythTV makes a network connection to the loopback address,<br>
like any normal app, but mysql client uses a local UNIX socket. It's<br>
possible to have the database credentials set up in a way that works<br>
with one but not the other.<br>

It will give you a gui that will let you select what you want or don't want installed in your mythtv configuration. Then it will make sure that things get setup properly with minimal input from you. It won't mess with the rest of your system and it will make sure you get all of the right mythtv packages installed in the right order, etc. It is the recommended way of installing mythtv in Intrepid. If you don't want to go that route you can try running dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database. That is the metapackage that sets up the database during install. <br>
