Stupid question why are you running mythtv in root? why are you symlinking a directory to / ? that is like creating a directory in windows and shortcutting it to c:\ You are not running windows here. :) set your system to autologon as a gumby user, and autolaunch mythfrontend.
do you have mythbackend file in /etc/init.d? what is the file's settings? is it executable? if not then chmod +x mythbackend will help. if you run chkconfig --list can you see mythbackend there? if so is activated? if not all you need to do is run chkconfig --add mythbackend 3456 or something like that I haven't used redhat variants for a while. > Thanks.. but no cigar.. > > Tried that, rebooted and still has problems. > > I created a symlink to /root/.mythtv in // and it still does the same thing. > > When I run 'service mythbackend status' it returns "mytbackend (pid 3647) is > running...' > > and returns me to the command prompt. > > > > > I've had something similar happen.
