Thanks. That was indeed very helpful and I am now much further forward, although I still ended up going round the same circle including the same "no UPnP" message when I run mythtv backend setup.
Having performed the tweak advised in bug #556204 of editing and saving /etc/init/mythtv-backend.conf file with an addition to the dependent conditions of "and started udev-finish", my mythtvbackend.log now appears as follows: 2010-06-03 12:30:02.378 MainServer::ANN Monitor 2010-06-03 12:30:02.396 adding: james-desktop as a client (events: 0) 2010-06-03 12:38:11.617 mythbackend version: branches/release-0-23-fixes [24879] www.mythtv.org 2010-06-03 12:38:11.618 Using runtime prefix = /usr 2010-06-03 12:38:11.630 Using configuration directory = /home/mythtv/.mythtv 2010-06-03 12:38:11.647 Empty LocalHostName. 2010-06-03 12:38:11.655 Using localhost value of james-desktop 2010-06-03 12:38:11.671 New DB connection, total: 1 2010-06-03 12:38:11.686 Connected to database 'mythconverg' at host: localhost 2010-06-03 12:38:11.688 Closing DB connection named 'DBManager0' 2010-06-03 12:38:11.697 Connected to database 'mythconverg' at host: localhost 2010-06-03 12:38:11.708 Current MythTV Schema Version (DBSchemaVer): 1254 2010-06-03 12:38:11.714 MythBackend: Starting up as the master server. 2010-06-03 12:38:11.723 New DB connection, total: 2 2010-06-03 12:38:11.730 Connected to database 'mythconverg' at host: localhost 2010-06-03 12:38:11.739 MythBackend, Error: No valid capture cards are defined in the database.
