[mythtv-users] unable to start setup

[David Watkins]

I don't think the joystick error is significant (provided you don't
have a joystick).  I see that error all the time.

Looks like the setup programme is having trouble opening its window.

Do you also run a frontend on the same box?  If so the X-Window
configuration should be correct.


You could try running mythtv-setup from the command line and with the
following options:

mythtv-setup -O ThemePainter=qtpainter

or

mythtv-setup -O ThemePainter=OpenGL

to see if one of those options works.

Check that you're running as the same user that the backend usually runs as.
