tv_grab_uk_rt - Undefined argument in option spec

Edit /usr/bin/tv_grab_uk_rt and remove days and offset args from GetOptions variable list, and replace with:

       'offset'        => \ my $opt_offset,
       'days'          => \ my $opt_days,

MythTV and LIRC

Using the Ctrl key in config lines

Contrary to some sources, the required format for the config line is config=Ctrl+X. For example:

begin
    prog = mythtv
    button = TV
    config = Ctrl+2
end


Repairing broken MythTV tables

  1. Stop MythTV and MySQL
  2. cd /var/lib/mysql/mythconverg
  3. myisamchk *.MYI
  4. Identify broken tables
  5. myisamchk -r brokenTable.MYI
  6. Restart MythTV and MySQL


Slow mythfrontend menu transitions

This will often happen if (with an nVidia driver), the nVidia libglx file has been overwritten by an xserver upgrade. To check for this, run glxinfo | grep direct - if the driver is working the direct rendering should be on. If not, check the /var/log/Xorg.0.log for:

(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the GLX module...

In this case, it's possible to reinstall the latest nvidia linux driver, or alternatively, simply (as root):

mv /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so.orig
ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so.<nvidia ver> /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so
