I upgraded to Mythbuntu 9.10 from 9.04 on 07/02/2010. It all went well, except for the non auto-login (easily fixed) & the non-autostart of Myth frontend. I changed autostart, but then had the problem of myth frontend starting too fast, as described here.
Since both of these functions had been standard in earlier versions of Myth, I was somewhat surprised, & disappointed. As Schaze wrote on 2009-11-17, "This is a real design flaw and should not stay like that." On the other hand, I am quite pleased with the improvements in Myth, so thanks for that (although it would have been nice to have an explanation for using "i" to find delete - but I like it now I know how). I am basically an end-user, so am not sufficiently capable to understand the fixes proposed in this report by Schaze & brjhaverkamp. If this could be re-written in a way that I could see exactly what I need to do, I would very much appreciate that.

Status in “mythtv” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: mythbuntu-common I upgraded mythbuntu to 9.10. Now when I boot, mythwelcome is unable to connect to mysql and comes with a setup dialog. (first screen is choosing the language.) Starting mythwelcome or mythfrontend manually from a terminal works fine, since at that point mysql and mythtv-backend have started. I tried delaying the start of mythwelcome in /usr/share/mythtv/mythfrontend.sh. I got it so far that mythwelcome only complains about not finding mythbackend. My suspicion is that mythwelcome/mythfrontend start before mysql, mythbackend and/or lircd are correctly started. Either those should be started earlier, or the script that starts mythwelcome/mythfrontend should actively check for those. If any other information is needed, please let me know. Bert Haverkamp P.S. possibly mythbuntu-common is not the appropriate package, but it is definitely a mythbuntu setup problem. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu-bugs Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
