No, only that your MythTV compilation/installation prefix was set to /usr (typical when installing from prebuilt packages such as those from atrpms.net) and not /usr/local, which is more common when compiling from source yourself. > Also: > > > One approach would be to export the HOME variable from the init script > > before the mythbackend service is started, and see whether this fixes > > the problem.

If you want to use /home/mythtv as your $HOME, put export HOME=/home/mythtv/ on (for example) line 42 of the init script from contrib (http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/branches/release-0-21-fixes/mythtv/contrib/init_scripts/fedora.init.mythbackend#L42) If this doesn't work, my only other suggestion would be to consider re-installing the OS (you might consider CentOS in lieu of Fedora for a more stable and longer-supported OS). -- Nick Morrott MythTV Official wiki: http://mythtv.org/wiki/ MythTV users list archive: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users "An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest." - Benjamin Franklin _______________________________________________ atrpms-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.atrpms.net/mailman/listinfo/atrpms-users
