Hi all,

 

Please forgive me if these are dumb questions…  I’m a total newbie with linux so I’m really struggling.  I’ve loaded mythtv using the Knoppix distro.  I appear to have a good install but seem to have hit some roadblocks.  Here are some of the problems I’m seeing:  First and foremost, when I select live TV I get a black screen.  I am getting channel listings.  Often when I escape out of an area, I get a message stating the backend isn’t running – is the ip correct?  I have no idea why the backend wouldn’t be running.  I basically have a default install at this point so probably I’m missing many things – frankly I don’t know.  I don’t appear to be able to play vcds or listen to music cds either.  If I put a cd or vcd into my cd drive it doesn’t seem like Myth sees it at all.  Therefore I can’t import either.  Not sure what to do at this point.  My video is a Rage 128 and my capture card is  Leadtek Winfast TV 2000Xp Expert.  I haven’t even begun to try working with the remote at this point but judging from my experience so far I’ll have issues there too although I read that this card will work.  Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

 

Chris
