Hi all
First let me say thanks to all MythTV users and developers for the work that
you have put in to the system. I've just installed it for the first time
and mostly it has gone okay. The developers I thank for writing the thing
in the first place, and the users who posted so many howtos that I was
able to work out how to get my hardware to work.
My system is based on:
VIA EPIA 5000, CPU 533MHz
Hauppauge PVR350
Debian (unstable)
The hardware works fine (big thank you to any IvyTV developers on this list)
and I have proved that capture works, I also have the X-server working
and outputting to my Widescreen Sony TV (PAL).
The only problem was with the software - the Debian mythtv debs were built
for an Intel chip which is not 100% compatible with the VIA system so I
had to build those deb myself.
The debs all install okay so all the software is in place. My problem is
a configuration one trying to get mythtv-setup to run. Here is the output
from it:
mythtv at elmer:~$ mythtv-setup
Would you like to clear all capture card
settings before starting configuration? [no] yes
Would you like to clear all program/channel
settings before starting configuration? [no] yes
Illegal instruction
Now I know there are some problems with some of the debs out there but
I have compiled both lame & mythtv so they should be fine.
"gcc -dumpmachine" reports: i486-linux
Can anyone tell me what is causing the "Illegal instruction"
Sorry to be a bother, and thanks for any advice in advance
Steve
