Mythtv/Database Problem


Trying to build a Linux Media Center instead of going to Windows. Downloaded and installed mythtv through Adept(Linux Distro:Kubuntu 6.1 Edgy). I believe there is a problem with the database. Perhaps a MySql package? Not sure though. Relative noob. I tried reinstalling mythtv-database in Synaptic and get this message:

E: mythtv-database: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
E: mythtv: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

Adept won't let me reinstall. This is the result from running mythv-setup in the terminal:

QSqlQuery::exec: database not open
QSqlQuery::exec: database not open
2007-01-30 17:59:40.503 DB Error (KickDatabase):
Query was:
SELECT NULL;
No error type from QSqlError? Strange...
2007-01-30 17:59:40.559 Database not open while trying to save setting: Language

Database error was:

2007-01-30 17:59:40.615 DB Error (KickDatabase):

2007-01-30 17:59:41.443 User canceled database configuration
2007-01-30 17:59:41.445 Failed to init MythContext, exiting.

This seems to be a pretty common problem but I haven't been able to find a solution yet. Thank you for your help.

It seems like you forgot to add the mythtv user to the mysql database.

Try mysql -u root mysql from a command line. It should give you a mysql> prompt. Then do
Code:
UPDATE user SET Password=PASSWORD('mythtv') WHERE user='mythtv';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
quit
