This is the output what happens now, when I try to watch tv via my notebook, which is the remote frontend, fglrx driver enabled. On my backend/frontend combo with mythbuntu 7.10 and the latest weekly builds and nvidia card everything is running fine. Frontend is still crashing, when I try to shut it down properly. You need the dump of it, tell me. 2008-03-28 23:37:06.483 Using runtime prefix = /usr, libdir = /usr/lib 2008-03-28 23:37:06.969 XScreenSaver support enabled 2008-03-28 23:37:06.969 DPMS is active. 2008-03-28 23:37:06.988 Empty LocalHostName. 2008-03-28 23:37:06.988 Using localhost value of ubulap 2008-03-28 23:37:06.989 Testing network connectivity to 192.*.*.* 2008-03-28 23:37:07.207 New DB connection, total: 1 2008-03-28 23:37:12.440 Connected to database 'mythconverg' at host: 192.*.*.* 2008-03-28 23:37:12.443 Closing DB connection named 'DBManager0' 2008-03-28 23:37:12.443 Total desktop dim: 1280x800, with 1 screen[s]. 2008-03-28 23:37:17.469 Connected to database 'mythconverg' at host: 192.*.*.* 2008-03-28 23:37:17.587 Using screen 0, 1280x800 at 0,0 2008-03-28 23:37:17.637 New DB connection, total: 2 2008-03-28 23:37:22.666 Connected to database 'mythconverg' at host: 192.*.*.* 2008-03-28 23:37:22.715 mythfrontend version: 0.21.20080304-1 www.mythtv.org 2008-03-28 23:37:22.715 Enabled verbose msgs: important general 2008-03-28 23:37:23.593 Total desktop dim: 1280x800, with 1 screen[s]. 2008-03-28 23:37:23.595 Using screen 0, 1280x800 at 0,0 2008-03-28 23:37:23.596 Switching to square mode (G.A.N.T) 2008-03-28 23:37:23.779 Using the Qt painter mythtv: could not connect to socket mythtv: No such file or directory 2008-03-28 23:37:23.779 lirc_init failed for mythtv, see preceding messages 2008-03-28 23:37:23.779 JoystickMenuClient Error: Joystick disabled - Failed to read /home/sven/.mythtv/joystickmenurc 2008-03-28 23:37:25.385 Loading from: /usr/share/mythtv/themes/G.A.N.T/base.xml 2008-03-28 23:37:25.522 Loading from: /usr/share/mythtv/themes/default/base.xml 2008-03-28 23:37:25.782 Registering Internal as a media playback plugin. 2008-03-28 23:37:36.602 Connecting to backend server: 192.*.*.*:6543 (try 1 of 5) 2008-03-28 23:37:36.604 Using protocol version 40 2008-03-28 23:37:36.645 TV: Attempting to change from None to WatchingLiveTV 2008-03-28 23:37:36.646 Using protocol version 40 2008-03-28 23:37:39.228 New DB connection, total: 3 2008-03-28 23:37:39.270 DPMS Deactivated 2008-03-28 23:37:39.271 New DB connection, total: 4 2008-03-28 23:37:44.247 Connected to database 'mythconverg' at host: 192.*.*.* 2008-03-28 23:37:49.265 Connected to database 'mythconverg' at host: 192.*.*.* 2008-03-28 23:37:49.294 NVP: Disabling Audio, params(-1,2,44100) 2008-03-28 23:37:49.508 VideoOutputXv Error: Could not find suitable XVideo surface. 2008-03-28 23:37:49.508 VideoOutputXv: Falling back to X11 video output over a network socket. *** May be very slow *** 2008-03-28 23:37:49.527 VideoOutputXv Error: XCreateImage failed: XJ_disp(0x8378820) visual(0x8378d60) XJ_depth(24) WxH(1280x800) bpl(3840) 2008-03-28 23:37:49.528 VideoOutputXv Error: Failed to create X buffers. 2008-03-28 23:37:49.872 Couldn't load deinterlace filter 2008-03-28 23:37:49.892 OSD Theme Dimensions W: 640 H: 480 2008-03-28 23:37:50.416 TV: Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV 2008-03-28 23:37:50.419 Realtime priority would require SUID as root. 2008-03-28 23:37:50.557 OpenGLVideoSync() 2008-03-28 23:37:50.557 ~OpenGLVideoSync() -- begin 2008-03-28 23:37:50.557 ~OpenGLVideoSync() -- middle 2008-03-28 23:37:50.558 ~OpenGLVideoSync() -- end 2008-03-28 23:37:50.558 Video timing method: USleep with busy wait 2008-03-28 23:37:50.810 [mpeg2video @ 0xb73e7ac8]ac-tex damaged at 0 25 2008-03-28 23:37:50.812 [mpeg2video @ 0xb73e7ac8]invalid mb type in I Frame at 0 28 2008-03-28 23:37:50.812 [mpeg2video @ 0xb73e7ac8]invalid mb type in I Frame at 0 29 2008-03-28 23:37:50.812 [mpeg2video @ 0xb73e7ac8]ac-tex damaged at 0 30 2008-03-28 23:37:50.814 [mpeg2video @ 0xb73e7ac8]invalid mb type in I Frame at 0 31 2008-03-28 23:37:50.815 [mpeg2video @ 0xb73e7ac8]invalid mb type in I Frame at 0 32 2008-03-28 23:37:50.815 [mpeg2video @ 0xb73e7ac8]invalid mb type in I Frame at 0 33 2008-03-28 23:37:50.815 [mpeg2video @ 0xb73e7ac8]invalid mb type in I Frame at 0 34 2008-03-28 23:37:50.815 [mpeg2video @ 0xb73e7ac8]invalid mb type in I Frame at 0 35 2008-03-28 23:37:50.815 [mpeg2video @ 0xb73e7ac8]Warning MVs not available 2008-03-28 23:37:51.108 VideoOutputXv Error: Could not find suitable XVideo surface. 2008-03-28 23:37:51.109 VideoOutputXv: Falling back to X11 video output over a network socket. *** May be very slow *** 2008-03-28 23:37:51.109 VideoOutputXv Error: XCreateImage failed: XJ_disp(0x8378820) visual(0x8378d60) XJ_depth(24) WxH(1280x800) bpl(3840) 2008-03-28 23:37:51.109 VideoOutputXv Error: Failed to create X buffers. 2008-03-28 23:37:51.527 AFD: Opened codec 0x9e3ad90, id(MPEG2VIDEO) type(Video) 2008-03-28 23:37:51.527 AFD: codec MP3 has 2 channels 2008-03-28 23:37:51.527 AFD: Opened codec 0x9e3b110, id(MP3) type(Audio) 2008-03-28 23:37:51.601 Opening audio device 'default'. ch 2(2) sr 48000 2008-03-28 23:37:51.601 Opening ALSA audio device 'default'.
