[mythtv-users] mythfrontend problems

[Gavin Haslett]

Sounds to me like a sort of database corruption. Hopefully you don't
have any recordings in there that you want to keep, try this (as root)

Mysql -u root mysql
Mysql> drop database mythconverg;
Mysql> quit

After that, re-run the script to recreate the database and try a
mythtv-setup again. If you like, you can try to do a mysqldump before
you kill the database to backup the data;

Mysqldump -u root mythconverg > mythdump.sql

Then you do the stuff above to trash the database. You can then use the
mythdump.sql to put the data back, but chances are if the db is
corrupted then it's probably only going to copy over the corruption
again.

 From what you write I can't see if mythbackend is running, but you can
not run mythtv-setup while the backend is running.
