I've googled, I've searched here, I've searched the wiki (which has instructions which are followed with "actually that doesn't work after all").

Could someone please help me get the GUI to run so I can fix the TV output?

I get the "Fatal: Compiled without gui" message.

Thanks!

have you tried apt-get install nvtv? Just make sure you run the right one. If the one installed by apt-get is installed to a different prefix, the one with knoppmyth may be in the path before it.

After installing do ato see if you have more than one copy of the nvtv executable.

You may wish to do this before you apt-get so that you know for sure which one came with knoppmyth.

Thanks for the reply. I tried "apt-get install nvtv" at /usr/local/bin (that's the one that came with knoppmyth) and got:


Still same not compiled with gui message. I've found lots of posts with this problem but haven't found any solution.

download this file:
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/ma ... 2_i386.deb

then type
dpkg -i nvtv_0.4.7-2_i386.deb

My hero!!!! Thank you so much! Is it possible to run the nvtv gui remotely (using putty and xming)? The resolution is so poor on my TV that I can hardly read anything in the gui (or the command line for that matter).

Running nvtv in putty gives me:

Well, I've just been trying that myself (to check that the instructions I gave you worked). I had to fire up my old myth box with the mx400 in it because nvtv just exits with a seg fault on a machione with an fx5200.

I installed it on my old machine by sshing from a windoes box. I am running an x server on the windows box, so i just set the display to my windows machine and ran nvtv and up the gui popped.

So, yes. you should be able to run the display up to a different x server.
