I doubt it is QT for you say you can start and run
mythtv-setup. Did you previously have a frontend with
the same hostname? So then probably a setting from
that old frontend is sabotaging your current one. For
instance did that frontend have multiple screens?
Anyway, if you now give your frontend another new name
you start with all default settings.<br>

<br>
No, I actually dug through the settings table. It's a
brand new hostname. All kinds of new settings were
inserted under the new name.<br>
<br>
Besides, it looks like my application of -O is
incorrect. After restarting mythfrontend:<br>

Solved it. Some sort of theme issue.<br>
<br>
I manually searched the settings table and found that the
new host did not have a "Theme" entry. I manually inserted
one for the host and filled it in with the theme I have
used on my other front ends: Mythcenter-wide. The display
now comes up.<br>
<br>
</blockquote>
<div>That's weird that it wasn't already set, but you didn't
have to poke it into the database. You could have started
with an override -O Theme=Mythcenter-wide (as shown in the
wiki entry you linked to earlier), and then gone into the
frontend Setup and selected a theme for permanent use.<br>

I spoke too soon. The front end displays some times and not others.
If I restart mythfrontend it eventually comes up. What I always get
is the textured blue background but no menu elements rendered on top
of it.<br>
<br>
I don't know what to make of this.<br>
<br>
During one of the times it was up, I tried setting the theme through
the GUI but this behavior persists.<br>
