Mailing List Archive: OSD/database problem

I have installed Version 0.8 from the website.
Eveything goes fine until I start mythtv. When it
starts it spits out:

...
Couldn't load osdtheme: at
/usr/local/share/mythtv/themes//
Unable to find font:
No OSD will be displayed.
...

I looked in the database to see where it should be
looking and didn't see anything theme related in the
settings table.
my assumption is that there are missing entries in the
table. what SHOULD be in the settings table??

the result of select * from settings is below
thanks

my first guess is the theme was not correctly installed, or the
directory has the wrong permissions. If you go to the specified
directory is the theme actaully installed? If you are running RH8 there
is a special hoop you have to jump through to get the themes installed:
