2006-08-09 12:36:49 stanwebber mythtv: statusexplanation i ran into this exact same sequence. the problem occurs when mysql-server is installed as a dependancy of mythtv instead of being setup (with accounts & passwords) ahead of time. i fixed my install by assigning a mysql root password, reconfiguring mythtv-database to use that password & finally reinstalling mythtv: mysql -u root mysql mysql> UPDATE user SET Password=PASSWORD('YourPasswordHere') WHERE user='root'; mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES; mysql> quit dpkg-reconfigure --force mythtv-database apt-get install mythtv

2007-04-11 16:35:04 Mario Limonciello mythtv: statusexplanation The latest feisty packages now assume no root password during installation (as is the case for a brand new install of myth). This prevents any confusion for the user as to what password to enter. Now for anyone who HAS changed their root password, the package will install, but just require reconfiguration to setup that password. sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database will handle this
