I'm using Fedora 21 mythtv 0.27.4-6.fc21,<br>
<br>
Performing an update to the latest everything results in a<br>
mythfrontend with a blank GUI (white, no color).<br>
<br>
Turns out the latest "updates" package<br>
udisks.x86_64 0:1.0.5-1.fc21<br>
is at fault. Downgrading (yum downgrade udisks) to<br>
udisks.x86_64 0:1.0.4-15.fc21<br>
corrects the issue.<br>
<br>
Also there's a fixed version in updates-testing<br>
udisks.x86_64 0:1.0.5-2.fc21<br>
that also works (yum --enablerepo updates-testing update udisks)<br>
<br>
This appears to be the bug<br>
