Expect mythtv to launch and have visible text. Instead I have blocks of colour and no text.
mythtv front end has been working in Jaunty since I installed it a few weeks ago. At some stage during the last week, an update has broken the package for me. When I launch mythtv, I get a central black box where the loading text use to be, I can still see my desktop. The program hangs there and my desktop is unresponsive. When I hit ESC, the screen changes to a full screen grey box with a black central box. Below the black box is an orange bar and two more grey bars. I can use the arrow keys to move the orange bar down one bar and hit return; this causes the program to exit normally. It looks to me like I am just missing the text.
I have removed (and dpkg --purge) and reinstalled mythtv-frontend but the problem persists. I also deleted my $HOME/.mythtv directory. However, some configure files were left behind in /etc/mythtv; they are just the defaults plus the mysql password.
I have check bugs #93986 and #156983 and I believe they are not related; I did install/confirm I had installed the suggest fonts just in case but I still have the problem.
I do not have compiz active and no other application are acting strange; 3d games etc are fine.
