Hi figoza, I assume you have a standard mythbuntu setup with backend, mysql and frontend on the the same machine.
as a quick fix you can for now simply do the following changes as a workaround: open a terminal window enter the following: sudo nano /etc/init/mythtv-backend.conf Change the line: start on (local-filesystems and net-device-up IFACE=lo and started udev-finish) To (add:and started mysql): start on (local-filesystems and net-device-up IFACE=lo and started udev-finish and started mysql) Save and exit editor Then enter: sudo nano /etc/init/gdm.conf Change the start on block from: start on (filesystem and started dbus and (graphics-device-added fb0 PRIMARY_DEVICE_FOR_DISPLAY=1 or drm-device-added card0 PRIMARY_DEVICE_FOR_DISPLAY=1 or stopped udevtrigger)) To (3rd line is new): start on (filesystem and started dbus and started mythtv-backend and (graphics-device-added fb0 PRIMARY_DEVICE_FOR_DISPLAY=1 or drm-device-added card0 PRIMARY_DEVICE_FOR_DISPLAY=1 or stopped udevtrigger)) Save and exit editor With this your startup may appear slower by a few seconds as GDM only starts after mythtv-backend is started. ATTENTION: in case mythtv-backend could not be started due to some reason you will _not_ get a graphical login screen!! Hope this helps. /schaze P.S.: I used "nano" as editor as you mentioned beeing a newbie.
