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

 

Hi,

I would like to have possibility to restart xorg and mythfrontend
controlled way for my combined frontend-backend machine. I have problem
with LG TV and HDMI connection: When TV is in standby and mythtv box
starts (start time in BIOS), xorg cannot be started because LG TV as
monitor cannot be detected.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-
ati/+bug/808622

As a workaround: How can I restart only xorg and mythfrontend in my
mythbox controlled way? I have tried via SSH-connection "sudo start gdm"
but gnome login screen appears and I cannot get access to my box after
that with my username and password anymore :-(

I am using Mythbuntu 10.04 + enabled mythbuntu repos and mythtv 0.24.1
updated.

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.
