Im quite new to linux and I just managed to install the KnoppMyth on my spare pc. As it booted up for the first time, i ran the frontend and answered the prompts.. When I was looking at the different menus it just froze on Web settings (I belive it was this). So I hit ctrl+alt+f1 and typed in reboot. After reboot, the frontend didn't pop up anymore and all i can see is a tux watching a tv.
As Im really new to this, please be gentile.

Try pressing on the keyboard <alt> x
Then in the box type: mythfrontend
and press enter

Hopefully it should bring up the frontend or at least come up with an error which might help track down the problem

Yeah, that should return an error if it doesn't launch the GUI.

Thanks for your replys, Im afraid ive taken the easier way and installed ubuntu and with it, the mythtv. I did try launching the frontend thru xterm and it returned something like: "Could not launch Xserv". When i typed in startx, it said it could not connect to database or something like that.. But it doesnt matter anymore, ive got it up n running on ubuntu now.

<alt> <m> also restarts the frontend. I had that mapped to a button on my remote

Andy,

I must ask your motivation for postings, you have made 2 posts. 1st post is that it froze on you and you rebooted and nothing after that. 2nd post is you install Ubuntu, so WTF is the point?
