-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'm unsure how to setup mythtv. I installed: mythtv-docs-0.28.1+git.20170712.eef6a480b0-1.2.noarch mythtv-common-0.28.1+git.20170712.eef6a480b0-1.2.x86_64 mythtv-frontend-0.28.1+git.20170712.eef6a480b0-1.2.x86_64 mythtv-base-themes-0.28.1+git.20170712.eef6a480b0-1.2.noarch mythtv-setup-0.28.1+git.20170712.eef6a480b0-1.2.x86_64 mythtv-backend-0.28.1+git.20170712.eef6a480b0-1.2.x86_64 In file /usr/share/doc/packages/mythtv-docs/docs/README.HOWTO says one has to read http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythTV-HOWTO, so I do. .../Category:Software_Installation says nothing for *SUSE, so I assume I just need to install the openSUSE packages. Next step is "Post_Installation_Tasks", and again, nothing to do. Nest is "Configuring_MythTV". It says: «This guide assumes you have already installed MythTV, MySQL, created the MySQL user id and set up your backend to automatically start. If you used a Mythbuntu or a package from the Mythbuntu PPA these have already been done.» MySQL was installed automatically at some point (María*) and I started it - - I did not configure anything on it, everything is at defaults. Run "/usr/share/mysql-test/suse-test-run" to verify mysql does work. How do I create the "MySQL user id"? There are no instructions on that. Start the backend automatically? It is not configured yet. Sure? Next step is <https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Setup_General> I try run "mythtv-setup" as root. It asks country and language, then tries to access mysql, apparently fails, asks where it is, click finish, and it loops again to the first step, nothing saved despite having clicked "save". What can I do? Those instructions are not clear at all, and I see no docus for openSUSE. None in our wiki, either. Is not the setup program supposed to create and configure the database?
