frontend crashes

I am using CVS version from yesterday afternoon, and it crashes pretty
often. It also seems random and doesn't print any good info to the
console except Seg fault. Sometimes it is when I am navigating the
menus, sometimes leaving a recording. But, it always seems during
navigation. Has anyone else seen this behavior? Anyone got any
suggestions on how I can get more info out of it?

Thanks,
--Ken

RE: frontend crashes [In reply to]

I've been getting a lot of random seg faults lately as well. I chalked
it up to running dev code. I've been trying to decide if I want to go
back to .8 or just wait for some of the bugs to get cleared up.

Re: frontend crashes [In reply to]

You might try doing a 'make distclean' in the MC/ directory and rebuilding.
It sounds like your myth library has changed, but your binaries are thinking
it is the old version.

If that doesn't fix it, recompile with debug symbols and get a backtrace.

tail -f mythfrontend.log
or
less mythfrontend.log
and hit the end key to jump to the end.

Re: Frontend Crashes [In reply to]

Seems the crashing came from the GLX drivers not loading.

So its solved. Yay!
However there is no myth-log on my system.

it's something you have to manually set up, usually via
'mythfrontend -v <level> -l <logfile>'
