MythTV Reloaded – Day 8

Today I spent a while poking at the frontend again.  If you will remember from yesterday the changeover didn’t go quite as smoothly as I had hoped for.  When I turned on the frontend I was greeted with a black screen.  Eventually I was able to get to a command line but didn’t get any further before going to bed.  After looking at a couple of things and trying to start X Windows manually I realized that I had forgotten to install the AMD graphics driver.  Once that was done I could get the system to boot into X Windows normally.  Mythfrontend started up just like it was supposed to and this quickly brought to light the next thing that I forgot to do – setup the remote control!  

Tomorrow I will begin looking at the remote control receiver and see if I can get that running.   Hopefully that will be as simple to get running also.  It’s always gone fairly smoothly in the past but it’s been a couple of years since I last did it so I may be a little bit rusty.  We’ll see.  Until next time…
