So I checked this today, and I still get a segmentation fault. I used gdb<br>
to check WHERE the segmentation fault is occurring, and apparently it's<br>
within the following library:<br>
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.<br>
0x00007fffdd5067e2 in ?? ()<br>
from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/<wbr>plugins/platforms/libqxcb.so<br>
<br>
So I have some sort of problem with the qt5 library. Does anyone have any<br>
tips / ideas on how to resolve this?<br>
<br>
The machine is an upgraded mythbuntu 12.04 - now upgraded to 14.04 running<br>
mythtv 0.28 (latest versions in the mythbuntu repository).<br>
<br>
Any help here would be appreciated.<br>
<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
I upgraded my mythbuntu box from 12.04 to 14.04 last year. I also<br>
upgraded from 0.27 to 0.28 at the same time. Since then I haven't been<br>
able to run mtyhtv-setup. This hasn't been an issue until now. Now my<br>
cable provider has released their HD channels so that I am able to<br>
view them as well (previously a special type of HD box was required,<br>
and I don't think that it is required any more).<br>
<br>
So now I'd like to be able to run mythtv-setup.<br>
<br>
I don't get any errors or anything like that, the only thing that<br>
happens is I get the dialog boxes for shutting down mythtv-backend and<br>
starting it later on. In between the mythtv-backend terminal box pops<br>
up, but nothing happens and it shuts down again.<br>
<br>
Previously I would get a segfault.<br>
<br>
I have the latest version of 0.28 available from mythbuntu installed.<br>
<br>
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can troubleshoot this or see what<br>
is wrong?<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
Andréas<br>

I suggest first shut down the backend, then open a terminal window and<br>
run mythtv-setup. See if there are any error messages in the terminal<br>
window. If you are running mythbuntu or mythtv installed from the<br>
ubuntu packages you may need to run mythtv-setupreal or something like<br>
that as they may have created a script around mythtv-setup and renamed<br>
the actual mythtv-setup as something with real on the end.<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
Yes, the mythtv-setup file is a script that runs mythtv-setup.real. So<br>
shut down mythbackend, then run mythtv-setup.real from your<br>
mythfrontend user, and see what messages it tells you about the<br>
problem.<br>
<br>
</blockquote></blockquote></blockquote>
Found the problem.<br>
<br>
Apparently you can't use VNC to connect to the server and then run<br>
mythtv-setup. You need to be locally connected - then it just works....<br>

You can run mythtv-setup remotely, and it is necessary if your server is a VM or otherwise headless. It can be run over SSH, the way that I do it, and others here do use VNC successfully.<br>
<br>
In fact, you can run the front-end remotely as well, provided you don't try and play media. I have used this on occasion since it is the only way to select which theme mythtv-setup runs under.<br>
<br>
1. Configure enough of the backend using mythtv-setup to get a basic backend running<br>
2. Briefly run a frontend on the backend machine to select your preferred theme<br>
3. Run mythtv-setup once more to complete configuration<br>
<br>
- and all through an SSH terminal session using X forwarding.<br>
<br>
Perhaps you can tell I don't like the default theme?<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
<br></font></span></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Ok - I should probably have said, that MY machine can't run mythtv-setup from NoMachine (which I am running to login to the server remotely). I haven't configured SSH to run it remotely, because everything else that I do on the machine I do via NoMachine. But at least I now know that I can run mythtv-setup - as long as I'm on the console.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Andréas </div></div></div></div>
