Hi,
since running an update a week or so back, my 12.04 backend/frontend box
keeps putting me to the language/keyboard screen.
I've found that this is because it can no longer connect to mythconverg.

I've just spent the last our tearing my hair out with google, but no
solution yet.

Please can someone give me some pointers to solving this.

Also, how to make this startup re-config not respawn itself, as it locks me
out and I have to ssh in from another box.

Hi Zoltan,

I have a brief moment to shoot an email here... what kinds of things
have you tried?  Is mysql running and is there a mythconverg database?
yes, yes - also tried chmod -R 777 on the directory

Hi Marc,
I found that I could log into mythconverg from a console, but mythtv couldn't. As I have zero sql abilities I could not, quickly enough, find commands to change permissions to the tables, and check existing users and passwords, so I simply re-installed mysql and mthtv - and I now have a working system. (Well, perhaps only until I next reboot ;-) )


Thanks for your interest,
Kind regards,
Zoltan
