Installation issues / Re: MythTV Black Screen with just a Mouse...

« on: May 11, 2007, 07:15:06 am »

I am a novice Linux user but have learned a bit over the last week.

I ran through some of the stuff on the IVTV website and the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Install_IVTV_Edgy website.

Now the cat /dev/video0 > file.mpeg worked fine and I was able to play back the file.  So I started up LinuxMCE and then selected VIDEO from the menu.  The MythTV gui started up and I actually saw a menu and everything (never made it this far before)....for about 5 seconds, then the screen went black again with just my mouse.

Any ideas?

Installation issues / MythTV Black Screen with just a Mouse...

I have seen this topic here before, but no one has ever answered this issue.  I figured I would post it again in the hope that someone would.

When I startup MythTV I get just a mouse and a black screen.  Has anyone resolved this problem yet?
