Okay, so this doesn’t mean much to most people who read this, but I wanted to stick a note somewhere I could find it later since I keep forgetting this little tidbit.
I recently upgraded MythTV to version 0.18. I got reminded of a bug or something. Basically channel changing doesn’t work if the drivers for the tv tuner card (at least mine, the PVR-350) aren’t loaded before the mythbackend process starts. So, to fix this, I stop mythbackend, load the drivers (which I don’t have automatically loading at the moment), restart mythtbackend and then restart gdm.
Yeah, that’s all greek to some, but will mean something to beldurnik and possibly others.
