Mythfrontend locking up

Anybody else having mythfrontend lock up on them when they go to view the
program guide?

I've tried it on two places... my xbox mythfrontend, and on my backend
server.

When I select TV --> Schedule Recordings --> Program Guide, it shows the
name of a program up top, then it displays "Wed", but the *entire* rest of
the box is completely empty. (all I see is the blue mythtv background).

The frontend is also locking up when I select TV --> Schedule Recordings -->
Set Program Rankings.

I haven't tried any other options so I'm not sure if they lock up or not.
The Program Finder however does not cause the frontend to lock up.

Could my database be corrupted or something? Anybody else have this
problem?

Re: Mythfrontend locking up [In reply to]

I have had the frontend lock up on me in the conflict resolition
module. After picking which show to record, it relatively consitiently
locks up with the blue background, the border, and the color key showing
but nothing else. Switching to a virtual console and doing a "ps -ef |
grep myth" shows me 2 running frontend processes and no backend
processes. It appears the backend crashes and the frontend locks up as
a result. I can get back into mythtv by restarting the backend
(/etc/init.d/myth-backend start) and restarting gdm (/etc/init.d/gdm
restart). When I return to the conflict resolution menu, it shows that
it saved my setting, so it got at least that far.

Any ideas?
