| Post subject: | Problems with mythtv-setup |
Hi! I'm having problems with re-running mythtv-setup to setup xmltv and all that stuff... Everytime I run that command I get an "cannot connect to x" error. I then searched the forum and found this http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic. ... +connect+x But this doesn't help...  I then get an "cannot connect to x server :0.0".
How to solve this problem? Maybe it's caused by my new Wlan card I just got to work... 'Don't know.. Maybe you do? 
Thx in advance... foxx |

Are you running mythtv-setup from an xterm on the graphical desktop? You can't easily just run X programs from a console. |

You can't easily just run X programs from a console. How do you execute the mythtv-setup command from the MythTV GUI? or let me ask it another way.. How do I get to an xterm from the MythTV GUI? Thanks! |

you have to hit esc until you get out of the mythtv interface then you hit alt+s for mythtv-setup or alt+x for an xterm or alt+m to get back into the mythtv frontend. |

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! (I knew there had to be a secret handshake somewhere.. I just couldn't find it in the docs.) |

Funny, those shortcuts don't work at all for me-I triued all 3 of them. Was this introduced with R5A15 or something?

Yes. You need to exit to the desktop, use a mouse to access the background menu and get an xterm, and then run it manually from there. |

Thanks. You may want to specify that next time. shplad tjc wrote: Yes. You need to exit to the desktop, use a mouse to access the background menu and get an xterm, and then run it manually from there.

??? If you're asking a question it's up to you to provide enough detail to get a good answer, especially if your sysytem is off the mainstream in some way. If you don't it's most likely your own fault if the answers aren't relevant. Xsecrets made a perfectly reasonable assumption, that you were running the current version, and those directions work just fine there. |
