| Post subject: | Remote frontend locks up during shutdown |
I recently installed KM R5F27 as a remote frontend on some older hardware (Epox 8RDA3+). I believe the video card is an FX5500. If I Select KnoppMyth, Shut Down from the main menu, then I think I hear the hard drive spin down, but the computer basically just freezes with the frontend still displayed on the TV. I cannot do anything from the computer, I can't ssh into it, but I can ping it. I don't see any errors in the logs, and if I select restart instead of shutdown, it works normally. If I open an xterm window and as root type Code: shutdown -h now it shuts down normally. I have removed mythbackend and mysql from auto startup, and I have installed and auto-start athcool.
I did disable athcool before trying to shutdown normally and it still locked up. I didn't see anything in the wiki or forums similar to this, so I will gladly check out any links if you guys have some. Thanks. |

Might be an ACPI BIOS bug. You might upgrade your BIOS. Does a plain 'shutdown now' or 'poweroff' work any differently than 'shutdown -h now'? Have you waited a long time (like overnight) to see if it ever shuts down completely? You might wait a long time, reset, boot up a Knoppix CD, mount the root and look in KM's /var/log directory: Code: ls -lrt /km-mounted-here/var/log and look in the recent log files to see what the last thing
written there was. Cliff |

Hey Cliff Code: poweroff works like Code: shutdown -h now but Code: shutdown now does not work. In fact, one thing I neglected to mention was that when I issue the command Code: shutdown -h now it floods the xterm with:root@mythfrontend:/home/mythtv# root@mythfrontend:/home/mythtv# root@mythfrontend:/home/mythtv# root@mythfrontend:/home/mythtv# until X shuts down. It does the same thing with the other two commands, except with Code: shutdown now I think it keeps flooding the xterm window and I am unable to do anything else. I have not left it to run for more than 15 minutes to find out if it will eventually shutdown.
I'll try to give that other test a try tonight. |
