You are correct in that I did not manually start the backend properly,
however, the backend normally starts automatically, by whatever means
selected by the mythbuntu team.  I'm a bit late with an update: My backend
locked up twice yesterday (I couldn't ssh to it, which never happened before
my recent upgrades) and after a reboot, the frontend on my backend reported
that it couldn't connect to the backend.  I ran mythbuntu control centre and
did a connection test, and found that it failed.  I then wrote the original
post in this thread, and after sending that, I ran the backend setup, turned
on some logging options that were previously turned off, and then I
rebooted.  Seems it takes two reboots for the backend to start properly
after the lockup I experienced.  Now things seem to be working for moment.
