it's not explained well in the documentation from the mythtv install
directory run the following commands
cd setup
./setup
it will generate the gui and allow you to setup the backend once you
have finished you will be able to run mythbackend
> in mythfrontend Setup->General the first screen says myth can't connect to
> the database.
