Still have to try the libcec suggestion.<br>But I looked at the coredump. I installed mythtv-dbg, enabled apport and got a crash report.<br>With apport-unpack I got the CoreDump file out of that and I ran<br>gdb /usr/bin/mythfrontend.real CoreDump.<br>
<br>This gave me the following output:<br>root@winebox:~/apport# gdb /usr/bin/mythfrontend.real CoreDump <br>GNU gdb (Ubuntu/Linaro 7.4-2012.04-0ubuntu2) 7.4-2012.04<br>Copyright (C) 2012 Free Software Foundation, Inc.<br>

</div>I had a similar issue and had to install the libcec software from<br>
<a href="http://libcec.pulse-eight.com" target="_blank">http://libcec.pulse-eight.com</a> to fix it. Just to note, I do not have a<br>
cec adapter, but after filing a report<br>
<a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/1000771" target="_blank">https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/1000771</a> I thought I would<br>
give it a whirl to see if it would fix it, and it did.<br>
<br>
After I installed libcec, mythfrontend quit crashing...<br>
