I'm running up-to-date Mythbuntu 9.04, using JYA's trunk repository.
Latest nvidia 190 series drivers (190.42? -- it was a little worse
with the 185.36 series drivers), again from JYA's repository.
A rebuild with compile-type=profile and DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nostrip will
get the symbols. I had forgotten that I wasn't rolling my own builds
anymore.
I'm beginning to wonder whether its a memory leak issue. I notice
that with the fanart, etc. mythfrontend grows to over 600MB resident
quite quickly. I'm running on a 2GB ion with no swap -- so it could
be related to that. Though I always die exiting the PBB or a
recording and the dump is in a destructor -- which should be releasing
memory.
David.
