Ok, I did 1 and 3 I don't know how to do 2... :-)
** Patch added: "Log error when notify-send is not in PATH" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mythtv/+bug/692697/+attachment/1772929/+files/mythfrontend-v2.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mythbuntu Bug Team, which is subscribed to mythtv in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/692697 Title: Automatically restart Myth Frontend (Mythbuntu; Patch) Status in “mythtv” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Binary package hint: mythtv-frontend Every once in a while, mythfrontend crashes. This is often in MythMusic using a visualization or when using corrupt media files, etc. Because not having a keyboard on my Mythbuntu mediacenter, there is often no other option than poweroff and reboot the machine. (unless I'm at home ofcource...) I have changed the existing /usr/bin/mythfrontend script to be a "watchdog" to automatically restart mythfrontend.real (see attached patch) The script only restarts with a exit code other than 0 or 1 and only in "--service" mode. This prevents restarting mythfrontend while the user uses the Exit option, or when X stops, or machine reboots or when starting myth from the command-line. While restarting, it displays a "Restarting Frontend" message. Test it using: pkill -9 -f mythfrontend.real The display-messages requires "notify-send" in package libnotify-bin. I used this, so you don't have to click it away. I'm using this with Myth 0.23 and Myth 0.24 for a few months now. Since checking for exit-codes, I do not have any issues. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu-bugs Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
