[mythtv-users] Plugin conflict? (segfault)

[Dave Sherohman]

OK, so now that I've got mythweb vs. mythbrowser straightened out and
have mythweb up and running, I've gone on to setting up myth(gallery|
video|weather).  I initially had some problems with stuff not being found
which turned out to be because I mixed the mythtv debs (which installed
under /usr/lib) with the plugin tarball from mythtv.org (which installs
under /usr/local/lib)...  Copied the themes and plugins directories over
to /usr/local and it all came up fine... at first.

I decided to configure mythweather first, since that looked to be
the simplest and would let me verify that things were indeed working.
But when I got to setting my location, I saw that list of letters and
immediately pressed "M" to jump to "M" in the list, forgetting that
mythtv tends to not like you using any keys that aren't on a typical
remote control...  It immediately segfaulted and died.

On attempting to restart mythfrontend, the background flashed up on the
screen momentarily before it segfaulted and died again.

With a bit of experimentation, I determined that I could get mythfrontend
to start up by removing mythvideo and mythgallery from the plugins
directory, leaving only mythweather there.  This allowed me to go back
into the mythweather setup and set my location properly (albeit only
after much up-and-down-arrowing through insanely long lists of cities).
The issue created by my errant "M" persists, however, and attempting to
load mythvideo or mythgallery still gives me an immediate segfault when
I try to start mythfrontend.

The immediate question, then, is what's going on here?  Where do I need
to go and what do I need to reset to clear out whatever that "M" did so
that I can load the other plugins without crashing?
