<div>I'm in a very similar situation, I just upgraded
from 9.10 to 10.04 and my frontend is segfaulting very similarly. my
console looks just like yours, i have the strange mount error (though
mine is looking for /dev/sde), then Segmentation Fault. <br>

I should explain some more I think on reflection<br>
<br>
When I instaled from a Mythbyntu ISO or installed Ubuntu and then using
the Ubuntu software manager to install MythTV it always errored in the
way I and Douglas desribed. However, if I installed Ubuntu and used
the Mythbuntu website to install MythTV then my frontends work.<br>
<br>
And the mount that appears in the logs for the failed installs make no
sense to me at all, it is NOT something I configured.<br>
</blockquote></div>
Do you also see this error in your frontend log?<div><br>
<font color="#333333"><font size="2"><font face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica"><b>QPixmap: It is not safe to use
pixmaps outside the GUI thread<br>
</b></font></font></font><br></div>
The box I set up for my brother-in-law had this problem, which looks to
be caused by this bug:<br>

The workaround is to take your DVD out of the drive.<br><br></div></blockquote><div> </div></div></div><div>Nope, not seen that error myself, and my DVD drive is USB and only plugged in for the install and until Im confident its working, then its disconnected.<br>

<div><br>So maybe it is the same error, but it means that the MythUbuntu install ISO and MythTV in canonicals servers is unusable by a large proportion of people. How do I request that someone that can change this, changes it?<br>

<div><br></div><div>It is fixed in 10.10</div><br></blockquote><div>:) do it yourself seems to be the answer, cool, I can understand the sentiment behind it. But I did just want to point out that option B doesn't prevent a large number of people new to MythTV from downloading a version of MythTV that doesn't work and who knows how many of them will give up before they discover how to fix the problem?<br>
<br>I'm not sure I can join anyones dev team as I'm not about to develop anything, but if someone can point me in the direction of what paper work then I will look to see if I can do the paper work, I just really don't want peoples first experience to be a failure when the problem is already understood and fixed and "all" thats needed is to supply people with the fixed version as opposed to knowingly supplying the broken version.<br>
