[Bug 660833] Re: Mythfrontend and Xorg crash/restart back to login screen when starting playback/LiveTV

 

I just experienced this issue with a fresh install of Mythbuntu 10.10.
Looks like that included 1:0.23.0+fixes23872, apparently missing this
bug fix.

I just included ppa:mythbuntu/0.24 in sources and updated Mythtv to
0.24.  It worked!

I'm now enjoying awesome PBS programming (yay KQED!) in crystal clear
HD!

Thanks Myth devs.  I'm gonna love my new myth box.

Title:
  Mythfrontend and Xorg crash/restart back to login screen when starting
  playback/LiveTV

Status in “mythtv” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: mythtv

  This bug began after updating to 10.10, a workaround if to change the
  viewing settings from CPU-- to anything that does not invoke XvMC.

  When changing to certain channels myth crashes with no error given and
  I was just logged out completely. Uninstalling proprietary nvidia
  drivers also stopped the problem but it returns upon reinstallation of
  the drivers.
