Description:
After installing the VDR packages, running 'vdr' results the following error message:
[peter@Cinexin ~]$ vdr
vdr: can't access video directory /var/lib/vdr/video

I have verified the permissions of the user vdr:
[peter@Cinexin ~]$ ls -l /var/lib/vdr/
total 12
drwxr-xr-x. 8 vdr root  4096 feb 13 23:29 data
drwxrwxr-x+ 2 vdr video 4096 ene 11 21:14 video

So the error message doesn't make much sense. I have seen several similar reports around the web. But no useful workaround is suggested anywhere.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Allways

Additional info:
Furthermore, the installation package does not create an entry into the applications menu. That would be an expected behavior for every GUI-oriented software.
