No. I'm saying the exact opposite of that... You are already running it setuid root and you shouldn't be. (I.e. your system is already configured the "not-safe" way.)<br>
<br>
Before changing anything, please post the output of:<br>
<br>
ls -l /usr/local/bin/{mythfrontend,mythtv}*<br>
<br>
(yes, please run it exactly as show with all the punctuation :)<div class="im"></div></blockquote><div><br><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">[19:20:55] ~ > ls -l /usr/local/bin/{mythfrontend,mythtv}*</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">ls: cannot access /usr/local/bin/mythfrontend*: No such file or directory</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">ls: cannot access /usr/local/bin/mythtv*: No such file or directory</span><br>
<br>Tried it without the asterisk to boot, same result.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Chances are, it will be as simple as:<br>
<br>
chmod 0755 /usr/local/bin/{mythfrontend,mythtv}*<br>
<br>
and then using one of the more appropriate mechanisms (rlimits or realtime module) to allow mythfrontend to request realtime scheduling.<br>
<br>
But, that's somewhat dependent on how your distro is configured.<br>
<br>
However, thank you for running as root--in so doing, you proved that I was wrong about, "Note, this also /might/ happen if you run mythfrontend as root directly." That is /very/ good news because it means even on distros where mythfrontend runs as root, tmdb.pl will work properly.<div>
