Mythfrontend doesnt start

I launch mythfrontend from terminal and gets this.
$ mythfrontend
2010-08-12 15:06:32.372 mythfrontend version: branches/release-0-23-fixes [Unknown] www.mythtv.org
2010-08-12 15:06:32.372 Using runtime prefix = /usr
2010-08-12 15:06:32.372 Using configuration directory = /home/jan/.mythtv
2010-08-12 15:06:33.187 Using localhost value of 127.0.0.1
2010-08-12 15:06:33.193 New DB connection, total: 1
There it stops. I have reinstalled both Mythtv and MySQL with no difference. Where can I look for a solution?

my next line is

Connected to database 'mythconverg' at host: localhost

did you set up the database? otherwise, running an strace or using GDB might help (google for how to do that)

I did a completely new installation of my computer. I followed the WIKI guide but I get the same result. Mythfrontend doesnt start. I dont understand. I have had it up and running for almost a year now with very few problems. Are there any diferencies from the previous version.
EDIT. I can start it as root. What has happened?

Presumably that makes it a permission error.. either that or it is reading config from /root that doesn't exist in /home. Has the command line output changed at all? Maybe you should create a mythtv user and run the backend as that. You can also start mythfrontend with a verbose option, e.g. "mythfrontend -v most"

I found a thread on mythtv forum. Remove /.mythtv/ . I did rm -r and now mythfrontend starts.
