I know little about MythTV, but how long ago was your last revdep-rebuild? |
11 |
|
12 |
If you've not run it in awhile, chances are you upgraded something, maybe |
13 |
X, maybe something else, to a binary incompatible version, without |
14 |
rebuilding everything that depended on it. Normally, that means something |
15 |
breaks, but in this case, it may simply mean MythTV is falling back to a |
16 |
very slow unaccelerated compatibility mode. |
17 |

18 |
Note that if you've not run revdep-rebuild in some time, it's likely |
19 |
you'll have a whole list of stuff that needs rebuilt, and doing so will |
20 |
take awhile. It uses the same -p for pretend that emerge does, so use -p |
21 |
the first time. It'll do its thing scanning all your binaries and |
22 |
libraries to figure out what needs rebuilt, which takes awhile, then spit |
23 |
out a list. If you like the list, run it again without the -p and let it |
24 |
get to work (it won't have to recalculate everything, as it will still |
25 |
have the work files around from the first run). Or, you can emerge |
26 |
--oneshot each package on the list, manually. That's what I usually do. |
27 |
|
28 |
If you don't have the revdep-rebuild command, it's part of gentoolkit, |
29 |
which also contains a bunch of other very useful tools. |
