I have had a FE/BE running for some time now with very few problems, and have decided to setup a Frontend only system using the Acer AspireRevo r1600.

I have read the other post about using the r3600 Revo as a Frontend and Frontend/Backend system(Acer Aspire Revo 3610 with Streamzap)

I generated the recovery disk(s) for the Revo system to allow me to restore later if required (most likely never will), then proceeded to install LinHES R6.02 from a CD mounted via a usb connected DVD/CD Rom.

I proceed to run through the installation and this is where I get stuck. I am not sure what is required to link the Frontend to the Backend. After installation, and a reboot the system boots. I see the Yellow LinHES splash, see the alt+h option for the help menu, then LinHES just sits on the splash screen.

Doing any alt+x to get a terminal, I can check the log file(s), mythfrontend.log it states the following:

Apparently the new Frontend is not able to connect to the Backend. The other errors are for LIRC (no remote connected, yet), and Empty LocalHostName. The empty LocalHostName is/was one of the questions during the installation.

I did run into some of the same problems during installation like mention here: My experience with 6.02.00 from a USB stick

If anyone could point me in the right direction, or give any suggestions that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
J.

Did you configure the backend to allow connections from other machines? I think LinHES has an option for that, otherwise you have to make a change to the MySQL settings to listen to the IP address and not to localhost/127.0.0.1.

I cant recommend strongly enough a diskless frontend
pacman -S diskless-legacy
/usr/local/bin/config_diskless_frontend.bash
then follow the prompts and it should configure everything for you.
set your revo to netboot and you are done.
