Could you update to current CVS and try? I just added some debug statements
that'll say if it can't find or load the OSD theme..

I had a similar problem on a fresh gentoo install. I'm not sure if it's
gentoo related but it turned out that the themes where not copied to the
/usr/local/share/mythtv/themes

directory. Hope this helps...

Calvin...

I had to copy them there manually

It would almost seem like it is Gentoo related. I also
use Gentoo and have only had the defaultOSD showing. I
just downloaded the latest CVS version and I get this:

Couldn't find osdtheme: defaultosd

Or if I set it to use blue:

Couldn't find osdtheme: blue at
/usr/local/share/mythtv/themes/blue

I also just noticed that I get this error when doing
make install:

make[1]: Entering directory '/root/CVS/MC/themes'
cp -f -pR "blue" "/usr/local/share/mythtv/themes"
strip "/usr/local/share/mythtv/themes/"
strip: /usr/local/share/mythtv/themes: Is a directory
make[1]: *** [install_themes] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving Directory `/root/CVS/MC/themes'

I guess this is the reason it can't find the themes,
but what is causing the error?

OK. I just got home and took a look. That is
definitely the
problem. The Makefile in the themes subdirectory tries
to run strip
on the themes directory when doing an install. The
strip fails and
the install bombs at that point. None of the following
install
commands are executed. Just edit the Makefile, remove
the strip
commands from the list of commands for the install
target and
then do the make install again.

I assume a change is needed in themes.pro to prevent
the strip
commands from making it into the Makefile. I don't
know why
this isn't a problem with distros other than gentoo.
Since the
Makefile does not indicate that errors with the strip
command
should be ignored I think make is doing the correct
thing by
bombing out.

Thanks for the pointers.

There's a bug in qmake which other distros are patching.. It (qmake) should
check if it's a directory target first, before adding the 'strip' line. So,
you can either:

) Get whoever maintains the gentoo port to add the patch others are using
(it's a one liner that just adds a check for if the destination is a
directory when writing out the strip line).

) Get whoever maintains the gentoo port to update to qt 3.0.6 (released a
week ago), as that also fixes the bug.

) Remove the strip lines manually.
