Whenever I go to the program guide from live TV, mythfrontend crashes.
This has been going on for a long time, but I use the guide rarely enough
that it's not a big deal.

In particular, the guide will flash on the screen for a fraction of the
second, and then mythfrontend will exit, not gracefully.

The program guide works fine if I access it from the "schedule recordings"
menu.

The program guide used to work fine with my computer, for a previous
installation of MythTV. The differences are that I went from Fedora to
Ubuntu (Edgy), from mythtv .18 to .20, and from a computer monitor to a
different video card and tv-out.

Every other feature of MythTV which I've tried to use has worked fine.

I am attaching two files: a log and and the results of pushing &> to a
file, while performing the minimal actions necessary to generate the bug:
opening mythfrontend, selecting "Watch TV", bringing up the on-screen
menu, and selecting "Program Guide."

Could you attach a backtrace created with gdb?

Comment(by johnsong@ics.uci.edu):

Hm. Is it possible to have two mythtv installations at once? I'd love to
provide a trace, but I don't want to potentially break the otherwise-
perfectly-fine installation that my fiancee knows and loves.

Comment(by stuartm):

A debug build won't behave any differently to a normal build, so there is
no danger of breaking your current setup by replacing it.

It is possible to have two installations at once, but I wouldn't really
recommend it as it could end up causing more problems than it's worth.

Seems likely to be a dup of #2448 (that is, having a GUI size different
from the TV resolution makes the program guide crash).

Was having the same or a similar problem but a workaround which solved it
for me was to switch from the proprietary 'fglrx' driver back to the open
source 'ati' or 'radeon' driver for my ATI graphics card.
