<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in">Hi Folks!</p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in"><br></p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in">Bought a new (well, refurbished) Lenovo M58 for
use as an additional Frontend. Problem #1: At 1920x1080x60 Hz will randomly
blink (black screen for about a second). Both at the Desktop and any Myth
screen. At any lower resolution is fine (no blink/stays on). [Currently the
Frontend computer is connected up here to my monitor for testing – the monitor
has no problem with this resolution.] I can live with the slightly lower Desktop
resolution; only reason listed is may have some bearing on my real problem,
#2.</p>

<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in">Problem #2: In Myth playback no on-screen display
(of 'pause', 'bookmark saved', forwarding speed, etc.) when the TV show is 1080;
at 720 and below the on-screen overlay appears, Size of the picture appears
normal, so isn't a problem with overscanning.</p>

the Backend is running; installing the current version [14.04.1] on the Frontend

</div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div><span>_______________________________________________</span><br></div></blockquote><br><div>What does mythbackend --version on the backend give? I assume you are running 0.22 - 0.24 whereas Mythbuntu 14.04.01 ships with 0.27 (hence the warning 63 versions old). You could upgrade mythbackend to 0.27 without changing from Mythbuntu 10.10 (I believe). Otherwise I assume you could install Mythbuntu 14.04.01 but checkout the older (0.24?) branch. However you may struggle to get support when your MythTV version is pre fixes/0.25.</div><div><br></div><div>Remember that your OS version and MythTV version are different things and are not hard coded to each other.</div><div><br></div><div>Personally I would be strongly avoiding installing Mythbuntu 10.10 (which is not LTS) on a brand 'new' (modern hardware) computer. It is well out of date. You would be much better off with the 14.04.01 Mythbuntu point release which is LTS.</div></body></html>
