(And, as mentioned, it's already unchecked on my system.) Indeed. As I understand it you have to do a little more work outside of myth to make auto startup/shutdown work. I can post up my scripts if you like but it goes something like this: If you specify a startup script in mythtv-setup then that will receive auto or user on the command line depending on whether the backend is about to start a recording. Note you only get auto if the block shutdown before client connect is enabled. In the startup script I create or delete a file in the mythtv user's home directory. The .xsession script checks for the existence of this file and starts up the frontend if it's a user start. I have the power button on my remote hooked up in lirc to start the frontend if there's none running. That way if the box has booted automatically for a recording (and hence hasn't started mythfrontend) I can still use it.

I'm not sure there is a really cool solution to this, but am all ears if someone has a technical idea i could perhaps play around with. How about just ignoring the contents of links then? Or if that is too general ignoring the contents of a link which is the only content in a p?

Re: [mythtv-users] gave up on the Epia
On 4/13/05, Michael Carland [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The issue was that I compile for epia with -march=c3, and the offending package built a utility for itself, and then failed running it since the desktop didn't have the c3 magic. Does using -march-c3 make any noticable performance difference? I just use standard debian packages (which afaik will work on an i386), even my kernel is just a standard i686 version. Regarding giving up on epia, I don't have any of the DMA problems, or even FF/REW problems (although the machine is diskless, so I suppose there are fewer DMA contentions), I have a disk and haven't see any issues. How might they manifest themselves? The only stability problem I've had was lockups caused by the longhaul cpufreq module, since I've stopped using that it seems pretty solid.
