I recently had my Ubuntu 14.04 system crash. I did a clean install of<br>
14.04<br>
again and then a clean install of MythTV. I have installed it<br>
successfully<br>
numerous times, in the past, from Terminal and Software Center, without<br>
issue.<br>
<br>
Now, whenever I try to install it, I run the back end and I get the<br>
message<br>
cannot connect to database, password not correct. I followed some<br>
advice and<br>
ran an msql command an reset the password to MythTV. I completed the<br>
back<br>
end config and proceeded to the frontend. There, I get an error that<br>
the<br>
frontend cannot connect to the back end. May be an IP issue. I never<br>
saw<br>
that before. I assume it should be 127.0.0.1, as that is the default.<br>
<br>
I did a purge of MythTV and reinstalled it. When it asked for the d<br>
password, I entered MythTV. When the install finished, I ran the Back<br>
end,<br>
and was greeted with the same screen asking what language to use,<br>
followed<br>
by the cannot connect to database error.<br>
<br>
What am I doing wrong?<br>
<br>

<br>
sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database (answer "yes")<br>
<br>
sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-common (answers: mythconverg, mythtv,<br>
mythtv, your eth0 address)<br>
<br>
Yes, I say choose a password that makes sense and you can remember.<br>
Your mythtv system isn't accessible from the internet anyway is it?<br>

Well - Everything seems to be working well in Mythbuntu. My GUI displays<br>
full screen on my HDTV but the video from LiveTV or Recordings display in a<br>
square area in the center of the display. If I go to the Video Setup menu<br>
and choose Separate the GUI and Playback, what should I change the<br>
parameters to to make use of the rest of my 50" display? I have played<br>
around with this in the past and ended up with the GUI being too large and<br>
cut off on the edges.<br>
<br>
I normally output to my HDTV at 1080p.<br>

I was able to go into the Frontend setup, Appearance, and choose Separate<br>
GUI and Playback. The default was 640x480. I set both to 1920x1080. The GUI<br>
size was still OK. When watching LiveTV, the width is using the entire width<br>
of the TV screen although it is shorter on the top and bottom a little.<br>
<br>
The problem now is that when I hit ESC and exit MythTV, my Desktop<br>
resolution was reset to 640x480. I had to open the Nvidia Control Panel and<br>
change it back to 1920x1080. How do I keep that from happening?<br>
<br>
</span></blockquote>
<br><span class="">
Just dug into the settings a bit further. I would check the video<br>
playback settings "Setup > Video > Playback", particularly screen 2 of<br>
8. Check your scaling, displacement and aspect override settings.<br>
<br>

Don't forget your TV in all this. It may have a setup option, something like "Game Mode" or "Exact PC Size" or something like that. That can make the difference if you are either losing pixels round the edge or have a border that ought not be there.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
