</div></div>Sorry I had the wrong location for the backend binary, but the right<br>
name. If you do the following (mcc-backend may not be running) you<br>
will get the trace that we need.<br>
<br>
1. Close MCC<br>
2. run 'sudo killall mcc-backend'<br>
3. Start mcc-backend in a terminal with 'sudo /usr/share/mythbuntu/mcc-backend'<br>
<div class=""><div class="h5">4. In a new terminal window, start mythbuntu-control-center<br>
5. Reproduce the error<br>
6. Post the output from both terminal windows here.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Thomas Mashos<br>
