[mythtv-users] Unstable mythtv with Ubuntu 9.04 ( readStringList errors)

[Andrew Herron]

Hi,

We're running 32bit Mythbuntu 9.04 with updates & updated with the 'avenard'
vdpau stable release and we have not seen any such instability. I wonder
whether your problems could be related to the 64bit build? Just a thought...

All the best

Andrew
