The same for me. I upgraded recently to jaunty too. But the same problem was in intrepid already there.

Unfortunately, upstream can't determine a source with the current backtraces. There is a remote chance that the second trace is filesystem related, so please try a fsck (and might as well throw a database clean in there) and if you can still reproduce then install the qt-debugging symbols before submitting a new backtrace.

[Jaakan Shorter (jaakanshorter)]

Which Packages do I need to have installed to cover "qt-debugging symbols"?

[Tomas Cassidy (tomas-cassidy)]

Check https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash for info on getting debugging symbol packages.

Howdy, and thank you for helping to make Mythbuntu better. Unfortunately, mythtv developers upstream have stopped focusing on 0.21 based reports in preparation for a 0.22 release later this year. Is this bug still occurring for you? Could you please try to see if this bug is reproducible on 0.22? If it is, we can try to forward this bug upstream to get the right eyes focused on it.

We have builds of mythtv 0.22 available on a PPA to test. Please follow the directions at http://mythbuntu.org/auto-builds to enable them.

WARNING: If you intend to revert back to 0.21 after testing, you will need to back up your database before upgrading.

    Thanks!

This same error has been reproduced in with MythTv 0.22 (see bug #428959).

[MarcRandolph (mrand)]

Closing this one since 0.21 development tree is closed and this same error has been reproduced in with MythTv 0.22 (see bug #428959).

Actually, I meant Bug #428238
