Are you saying that you are receiving the same prompt, at Restart, that I do, and you just put in the Password and Restart? DarkChild suggested I click on the Blue Link below the Password Prompt, but that does not work for me. I do not know why at this point. You don't think it has anything to do with two X sessions running?
Actually, I have the latest MythTV running successfully using Ubuntu 9.10 and Ultimate Edition 2.4 (I expected this would work the same as it is based upon 9.10). I did find that Scan for channels only found 5 channels and then Hung, however, when I launched Watch TV, all the channels are there and the Schedules Direct Cable Guide is working properly.
I helped a friend setup Ultimate Edition 2.4 and I had no problems Scanning for Channels on his MythTV. He is using a WinTV-HVR-1800 and I am using a WinTV-HVR-1600. I set it up with the Card Type IVTV and the Probe found the 1800. All the Backend Settings seemed to be the same as my 1600 and he uses Time Warner Cable as I do. When I launch Watch TV, on his system, it says Waiting but never shows me Live TV and eventually jumps back to the OSD. I cannot change the Default Input from Television to Tuner 1 which is what my Default input is set to. When I Update the mythfilldatabase, on his MythTV, it does not take more than 15 sec so something is not right. I have posted on the MythTV Forum but I have not had a response, yet. A Google Search for the 1800 card seems to indicate that it does not work with Analog Cable, however, the only posts I could find were a year old. I guess the 1800 card is not just the PCIe version of the 1600.
