<font color='black' size='2' face='arial'>I'm running Mythtv on Debian based Simply Mepis 8. Myth has been running like a champ up until yesterday when I applied the latest upgrades that showed up in the Debian multimedia repository.<br>

I applied the upgrades, ran the setup which updated the DB schema (MySQL 5) and then tried mythfrontend. Nothing but a segmentation fault. I tried a number of different fixes that I found online and could not get rid of this segmentation fault error. Finally, out of desperation, I simply did a complete removal and install of the entire myth system. This finally fixed the problem of the segmentation fault, and all seemed well.<br>
<br>
This morning, however, I encountered the same segmentation fault error with the frontend. Enabling -v all on the frontend doesn't produce appear to produce any useful information that points to the source of this error.<br>
<br>
The last msg produced is (I've replaced the hostname with <hostname>):<br>
<br>
2010-01-06 11:13:46.350 MSqlQuery::exec() "DELETE FROM inuseprograms WHERE hostname = <hostname> and recusage = 'player' ;"<br>
Segmentation fault<br>
<br>
After this problem cropped up again this morning, I noticed another round of fixes available from the Debian multimedia repo. I applied them, but the seg fault still occurs with the frontend, BTW, the backend appears to be functioning normally - in fact, it's been recording scheduled shows that I can watch from my PS3.<br>
<br>
I don't want to do a complete removal and install again because it is a bit of a pain getting things back to where I want, plus I usually end up losing my recorded shows and schedule.<br>
<br>
I have a PVR 150 installed. Here's the output from mythfrontend --version<br>
