I have the same problem, though what really puzzles me is that I never used MythTV. It has been installed on my computer for a long time and is now all of a sudden causing this problem doing upstart, meaning that it takes around two minutes to boot all of a sudden. Now I removed all packages related to MythTV, but the same thing happens. It tries to spawn the backend during upstart.
Another strange thing is that it only happens for me when I am on the wireless network. If the ethernet cable is in, nothing happens. So it seems to be related to other problems I've had with the wireless since the release of Oneiric, though still it came later. -- 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/886321 Title: Upstart issue and mythbackend Status in “mythtv” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Strange problem with the backend during upstart on Ubuntu oneiric: the syslog tells me that the backend respawns too quickly and thus gives up on trying to start it via upstart.
