Why is it that random things seem to happen to my MythTV system?<br><br>Things stop working, frontends that could connect now can't. My bankend hangs once in every while (the machine is fine, I can login to it etc, but the mythtv backend is unresponsive) I sometimes get blank recordings (no sound, no picture, just an hour of black silence) sometimes I get zero byte recordings, my backend at one stage suddenly for no reason I could see got very confused about it directories, and now today, again for no apparent reason, it suddenly can't delete live TV recordings.<br>

<br>Why has this happened? How do it happen? Why do I keep getting these random strange events on a system I'm doing nothing on except the basic MythTV things of recording and playback and running the Ubuntu and Mythbuntu updates on?<br>
<br>Is it because Im running the udates?<br><br>Despite what I've read here would I be better of just leaving the installation alone and only updating say once a year?<br></blockquote></div></div><div><br>Could it be that because you update the kernel?<br>

<br><br></blockquote></div></div></blockquote></div></div><div>I don't know. Do I? I update what I believe I am supposed to update. Ubuntu updates and Mythbuntu. This is the crux of one of my question, are these updates the source of my problems?</div>
<div> </div></div>
<br></blockquote></div></div><div>It could be. Did you click 'update' whenever you see any updates? You can check which kernel you used before this problem occurred. Just a suggestion though.<br><font color="#888888"></font><br>
</div></div></blockquote></div>Once or twice a week, updates seem to come through every day that I check, but I only run it when MythTV isn't doing and isn't going to be doing anything in the next 30 mins or so.<br>
