mythfrontend and mythtv-setup hang upon selection of some menu items in R19237

[satfan39]

R19236/7 compiles and installs ok in my environment, but mythtv-setup and mythfrontend hang upon selection of some menu items ( not all of them ).

My environment

Ubuntu 8.10 kernel 2.6.27-7 2 gigabyte ram Core 2 E6850 CPU at 3Ghz s2-liplianin librairies twinhan DVB-S/S2 card AD- SP400 (1041+4046) Trunk 19237

Seems to be a problem with the UI since mythbackend is running OK.

Same with TRUNK 19245, impossible to use myth-setup to configure mythtv. With an existing database already populated, impossible to use the front end. The frontend is obviously stuck. Options used to configure are --prefix=/usr and --enable-proc-opt

Can you post frontend logs, please? It sounds like you are using an out-of-date theme.

mythtv-setup log

[anonymous]

I have attached the log ( copy & paste from the terminal window ). ProjectGrayhem? is the theme I am using. The problem is the same with all themes., it just hangs and I have to kill mythtv-setup.

With frontend, I have a similar issue, if I select "watch tv" it does not crash bu I can not watch anything. If I select parameter and "then Aspect", it hangs too and I have to kill the process manually ( same issue than with mythtv-setup -

Also, I noticed somthing strange; the progress bar that appears when launching mythtv-setup or mythfrontend "does not prgress", there is no bar progressing ( see picture ).

Which video card are you using? Is it possible that you are running out of video RAM?

[anonymous]

(a) Please find enclosed the mythfrontend.log and the mythbackend.log found in /var/log/mythtv

(b) The video card is a Nvidia 8400 GT ( 256 MB ram ). I can watch 720p files with mplayer and mythtv player ( HD suisse for instance ). Release 21 fixes works ok on my system ( R18722 test OK ) . So I dot not think that the videocard is the issue

On one of the hangs, can you please capture a backtrace?

Obviously, this is not happening to everyone so there is something in your situation that is unusual.

Did a "fresh" ubuntu 8.10 install ( kernel 2.6.27-10 ) and a fresh compile from svn on a different machine and the problem disapears. So this is definitely a local issue. Will backtrace and post result here.

Reinstalled all the QT4 librairies and the problem dissapeared. This was obviously a local configuration / set up issue with QT4 on my machine. Problem solved after reinstallation of QT4. To be closed.
