[mythtv-users] mythfrontend crashing X

[luitjens at cs.utah.edu]

Hi,

Today out of the blue mythfrontend started causing problems for me.  As 
soon as mythfrontend runs x windows will crash and restart.  Using 
mythfrontend -v all  has the last output before this happens as

2007-02-27 18:19:09.090 MSqlQuery: SELECT data FROM settings WHERE value 
= 'MenuTheme' AND hostname = 'freevo' ;
2007-02-27 18:19:09.090 MSqlQuery: SELECT data FROM settings WHERE value 
= 'QtFontBig' AND hostname = 'freevo' ;
2007-02-27 18:19:09.090 MSqlQuery: SELECT data FROM settings WHERE value 
= 'QtFontMedium' AND hostname = 'freevo' ;
2007-02-27 18:19:09.090 MSqlQuery: SELECT data FROM settings WHERE value 
= 'QtFontSmall' AND hostname = 'freevo' ;


If I run without -v then the last output is:

2007-02-27 18:22:46.004 Total desktop dim: 1360x768, with 1 screen[s].
2007-02-27 18:22:46.005 Using screen 0, 1360x768 at 0,0
2007-02-27 18:22:46.006 Switching to wide mode (MePo-wide)
mythfrontend: Fatal IO error: client killed
Mutex destroy failure: Device or resource busy

Nothing is appearing in any of the system logs. 

This all started earlier today when a show failed to record.  The 
recording produced an empty file.  I unloaded and reloaded the ivtv 
driver with no luck.  I then updated with Yum updating the following 
packages:
nspr.i386 4.6.5-0.6.0.fc6
bind-libs.i386 31:9.3.4-3.fc6
audit-libs.i386 1.4.2-2.fc6

vixie-cron.i386 4:4.1-68.fc6

audit-libs-python.i386 1.4.2-2.fc6
caching-nameserver.i386 31:9.3.4-3.fc6

I am using suse 10.2 with the latest SVN.

I am unsure if the problem was started because of the Yum updates or 
something else.

Anyone have any idea what I can do in order to resolve this or figure 
out what might be causing it?

Thanks
