Hi, I've built a new machine and installed 64bit Debian testing on it. I also installed MythTV from the deb-multimedia repository. My old computer has been used for MythTV (mostly recording/playback over the air TV) for years, and I would like to have the new hardware take over the job soon. But I ran into a difference between the 2 computers I'm not sure about.
On the old computer I can run 'mythtv-setup' when logged in as myself, not the 'mythtv' user. But on the new computer when I run it as myself I get asked my country and language 1st, then on the next screen, Database Configuration 1/2, I get the message "MythTV can not connect to the Database. Please verify you database settings below." As far as I can tell they are correct. I can not get past the next page (2/2), it sends me back to the country and language selection again. I did read the README.Debian file for MythTV and tried running 'sudo -u mythtv mythtv-setup, but get the message "mythtv-setup: cannot connect to X server :0.0". To make matters perhaps a little more troublesome there seems to be a little trouble with the new computer's hostname so when I try the suggestion in README.Debian, 'xhost +local' (as is, or substituting my hostname for 'local') i get a "...bad hostname..." error message. So, my main question is, other than just convenience how much difference does it make to be able to run mythtv-setup as myself rather that as user 'mythtv'? Does it not being able for it to access the database mean that if I run the frontend as myself it also won't be able to access the database?
