Hi,
not sure how to get around this one. I installed a fresh cvs update
of mythtv etc and now when I run mythfrontend, I get the setup screen.
-AMD64, gentoo, fresh install of QT, fresh checkout of src tree
The startup error:
2004-12-30 16:56:43.865 Unable to connect to database!
2004-12-30 16:56:43.865 No error type from QSqlError? Strange...
couldn't open db
lirc_init failed for mythtv, see preceding messages
2004-12-30 16:56:44.733 Joystick disabled.
2004-12-30 16:56:46.618 User canceled database configuration
Unable to open database:
Driver error was:
Driver not loaded
Database error was:
Driver not loaded
So, clearly the driver is not being loaded. There must be a new
driver, since this used to work. Mysql is running happily, I removed
the old db and added a new one just to rule that out. I can connect
to it from the command line.
tail /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log
QSqlDatabase: available drivers:
QSqlDatabase: QMYSQL3 driver not loaded
QSqlDatabase: available drivers:
QSqlDatabase: QMYSQL3 driver not loaded
QSqlDatabase: available drivers:
QSqlDatabase: QMYSQL3 driver not loaded
QSqlDatabase: available drivers:
couldn't open db
Would you like to configure the database connection now? [yes]
Couldn't open database
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Pb
