Hi,
No, definately not the reason, but thanks for the thought. I use fixed IPs.
I did solve it by uninstalling mysql and mythtv backend (and deleting the DB ) thereby forcing a re-create.

Regards,
Z

If your ip or hostname changes, the mythfrontend might not be able to find the old configuration and might prompt you to reconfigure. You might want to configure a unique frontend identifier under settings->general, so that this never happens.

            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
