[mythtv-users] frontend only doesnt work

[Andrew Lyon]

Hi,

On my gentoo laptop I have emerged mythtv 0.20 11647 (using a overlay
from integralblue.com)  with frontendonly flag, I run the frontend
with QT or OpenGL painter and I get no display at all, just a load of
errors in the xterm:

QMYSQL3: Unable to connect
Database error was:
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)

QSqlQuery::exec: database not open
QSqlQuery::exec: database not open
2006-11-04 14:37:24.583 DB Error (KickDatabase):
Query was:
SELECT NULL;
No error type from QSqlError?  Strange...
2006-11-04 14:37:24.635 Database not open while trying to load setting: Language
QFont::setPointSize: Point size <= 0 (0)
QFont::setPointSize: Point size <= 0 (0)
QFont::setPointSize: Point size <= 0 (0)

And no myth window at all :(, isnt myth supposed  to prompt for
database settings if it is unable to contact a local backend?
