Problem to Install MythTV on Linux Mint 22 (ubuntu 24.04)

[diepe]

I use virtualbox and i think i will lose hardware decode and encode.

@diepe, you can start the backend from the command line (to remove systemd from the picture).
Make sure it's stopped with the status comand, then type:

Code: Select all

sudo mythbackend --user mythtv

You may see some additional information that explains why it isn't starting.

Thanks for your help, now it works!!
(without TV cards on my test system)
I think something with my system user mythtv was wrong.

If someone needs.
I got it to work with the following steps.

1.) delete user mythtv
2.) using timeshift to go back before i installed LAMP and phpMyAdmin
3.) i installed LAMP and phpMyAdmin (mysql with root pw)

Code: Select all

sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

last line with
Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf

Code: Select all

 sudo/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

4.) Create LM22 admin user mythtv
5.) installed mythtv from LM22 repo
6.) Reboot
7.) http://IP:6544

Hard work to fix, but now i am happy till the next problem!

Glad you got it working. If you installed from the LM22 Distro version you may want to upgrade the software at some point to get the bug fixes. Adding the PPA will update the mythtv software and leave everything else along.

You could take a snapshot right before to make it easy to test. You can check version with :

Code: Select all

mythfrontend --version
Please attach all output as a file in bug reports.
