Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: mythtv
When I try to start MythTV using the "MythTV Frontend" shortcut in the
GNOME menu, nothing happens. Upon further investigation, the command
used by the menu shortcut is "mythfrontend --service". Running the
command in a terminal gives the error message:
.: 90: Can't open /etc/mythtv/session-settings
However, I am able to start myth-tv with the command "mythfrontend",
without the --service parameter.
I'm not sure what the --service parameter does; it doesn't seem to be
documented under "mythfrontend --help". It obviously depends no
/etc/mythtv/session-settings, which doesn't exist on my system.
Running mythtv version "0.21.0+fixes16838-0ubuntu3" from the Hardy
repositories. Installed on updated Hardy RC on AMD64. I followed the
install instructions for Mythbuntu on Gutsy, configured as a backend and
frontend on an existing desktop. I've previously had trouble with
mythtv and ended up removing the package, but this is now occurring
after a fresh install.
