[mythtv-users] Problem running mythtv setup

[Andréas Kühne]

So I checked this today, and I still get a segmentation fault. I used gdb
to check WHERE the segmentation fault is occurring, and apparently it's
within the following library:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00007fffdd5067e2 in ?? ()
   from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/platforms/libqxcb.so

So I have some sort of problem with the qt5 library. Does anyone have any
tips / ideas on how to resolve this?

The machine is an upgraded mythbuntu 12.04 - now upgraded to 14.04 running
mythtv 0.28 (latest versions in the mythbuntu repository).

Any help here would be appreciated.

Regards,

Andréas
