| Post subject: | mythfrontend doesn't start automatically R5F27 (RESOLVED) |
I had a motherboard failure on my main R5F27 system while running many test installs of R5.5 on a spare hard drive I put in the system. I put the hardware and R5F27 hard drives into my desktop PC and wonder of wonders it all came up and worked (after tweaking the new NIC MAC address into the udev rules for eth0 and running alsamixer to setup the sound card). The one thing that appears to be wrong is that mythfrontend doesn't start by itself. It doesn't seem to run at all. KnoppMyth-run.log says it started it when I 'pkill xinit' though. X comes up. If I start an xterm and run mythfrontend, everything seems to be fine. I was tracking down what seemed to be that R5F27 would install on this hardware, but R5.5 would not. Lockups or strange ?BIOS? messages before it even got to LILO; like the boot loader was bad. EDIT: I got my repaired motherboard (ASUS 3 year warranty) back and found that the same issue was happening with it. I finally tracked it down in the logs. There was a file that it was trying to overwrite, but it did not have proper permission to do so. I am pretty sure that the file was /tmp/videosource.txt Cliff |
