It's in Overview -> Manage Drafts.

I saved a new post as a draft, and can't find where to continue editing it. What am I missing?

There are several websites where you can find channels near you, that don't all have the most current info, especially in the months around a repack. Sometimes not even the FCC site shows channels that have already moved. I think the repack was finished in CT, USA last year but I don't know if it's ...

When I go to Media Library -> Watch Videos and choose an ISO of a DVD I own, once it plays past all the trailers etc. and gets to the main DVD menu, it plays "glitchy." That is, if there is any video or audio for that menu, they play as if they are on "fast forward." If the menu only has a static ba...

FIXED, graphics issue stopping mythwelcome/mythfrontend from running (segfaulting) See this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1231824/fuzzy-graphics-after-upgrading-to-ubuntu-20-04 Read down to "Same problem here with an Intel UHD Graphics 630 (Desktop) after upgrading from 19.10 to 20.04."

bill6502, what kernel are you on?

I found a page they says "there is something in the 5.4 kernel that causes hangs on Intel iGPUs."

https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comm ... om_freeze/

My kernel:
Linux 5.4.0-33-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Thu May 21 12:53:59 UTC 2020

So at this point, it's not a mythtv issue, it's video, so no worries if no answer here. But I'll still update with my findings, in case anyone else has a similar problem. I tested with mpv, which supports various video output drivers with option -vo. If I run mpv without specifying -vo, it prints "U...

bill6502, thanks for taking the time to look into this. I know it's not explicitly a MythTV problem, but the problems I had getting to this point could be related to depends (referring mostly to the mysql/mariadb issues, not sure about video yet.) Let me summarize where I started. Last July or so, I...

This is very frustrating. No idea how to fix this. At this point it's not a MythTV problem specifically, because other programs also crash playing video, that worked fine before. mpv crashes, I think it uses hardware acceleration. vlc crashes, even when I disable acceleration. chrome works for strea...

OK, it's got to be related to video, drivers or codecs or something. Both VLC and MPV crash when trying to play a video that worked fine before the upgrade. mpv says: [ffmpeg] AVHWDeviceContext: Failed to query surface attributes: 20 (the requested function is not implemented). [vo/gpu/vaapi-egl] fa...

As of this morning, I see the system is starting up on schedule, recording, and shutting down afterward. So I'm not missing any recordings, I just can't watch them until I fix mythfrontend.

Yes, MySQL 8.0 can be installed in *buntu 19.10. I did it. Seemed to "hang" for about 5 minutes at 86 percent, but eventually finished. Without explicitly installing MySQL 8 first, upgrade to 20.04 still wants to replace mysql with mariadb and uninstall mythtv. I got everything working on 19.10 + My...

So the reason I had held the mysql package was to see if that would prevent the upgrade from 19.4 to 19.10 from replacing mysql with mariadb. But we wanted to watch something before I could run the upgrade and I forgot it was held when I initially ran dpkg to get the output. So now I've just upgrade...

I wasn't holding any package when I tried upgrading, any time. I only held that yesterday but never tried upgrading while it was held. I have to upgrade to 19.10 first, before 20.04. And when I start upgrading to 19.10 and look at details before clicking start, it wants to uninstall mysql 5.7 and in...

Oh! I forgot I had added a hold on mysql 5.7 before I ran that. (Added after the problems described earlier.) I've since removed the hold, and it shows ii instead of hi... sudo dpkg -l *mysql-server* *mariadb-server* Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/hal...
