Well, I even emailed mythtv-users and the best workaround I managed to come up with was the following:
Since you can change a setting in the mythtv options to disable prompting on exit, when you click shutdown/reboot, it just quits mythtv without asking (but doesn't shutdown/reboot the computer). If you place mythtv in a wrapper script which shuts down the computer once mythfrontend returns, it solves the shutdown problem. So, something like this: -- mythtv.sh #!/bin/sh mythfrontend sudo /sbin/poweroff -- You will need to add /sbin/poweroff to your sudoers file to give your user permissions to poweroff the computer. Add something like this: ALL ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /sbin/poweroff But check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sudoers for more info, since it's better if you limit it to a specific user. Unfortunately, I didn't find anything regarding reboot or logout. -- Unable to logout, shutdown, restart, etc when Mythfrontend is running https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/174712 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
