| Post subject: | Startup problems since power blinked |
Power blinked to the house one day and ever since I have a couple problems I can't seem to sort out. 1st when the system boots up mythfrontend doesn't start automatically, I have to crank it up manually. The backend and mysql are all running fine. 2nd is screen blanking. I've run configure_xscreensaver and disabled it but acpi or dpms or something else is still causing the screen to blank out after about 5 minutes. I've run a few commands like setterm -blank 0 and xset -dpms and thought I had it but it comes back when rebooted. I'm wondering not only how to stop it but what might have caused it in the first place. |

I'd boot off the CD and fsck /. All else fails, backup and auto upgrade. |

figured it out! When the power blinked it made a shadow copy of ./fluxbox/apps as ~apps. And the new file did not have the [startup] entries at the top, which include the xset command and TA-DAAAA ... the knoppmyth-run command. I kept digging and finally spotted the extra file and I originally thought it might be a nano backup file, but when I opened it I spotted the startup commands that were missing in the active file. |
