[mythtv-users] Frontend submits hardware profile every startup

[John Veness]

Hi,

My mythfrontend seems to be submitting a hardware profile every time it 
starts up. The relevant part of mythfrontend --v all would seem to be:

2012-06-13 07:54:28.829711 I [22447/22447] CoreContext 
hardwareprofile.cpp:164 (NeedsUpdate) - Last hardware profile update was 
 > 30 days ago, update required...
2012-06-13 07:54:28.829806 I [22447/22447] CoreContext 
mythmainwindow.cpp:2538 (LockInputDevices) - Locking input devices
2012-06-13 07:54:28.842664 I [22447/22447] CoreContext 
system-unix.cpp:735 (Fork) - Managed child (PID: 22471) has started! * 
command=/usr/share/mythtv/hardwareprofile/sendProfile.py --submitOnly 
-a, timeout=0
2012-06-13 07:55:13.646857 I [22447/22460] SystemManager 
system-unix.cpp:342 (run) - Managed child (PID: 22471) has exited! 
command=/usr/share/mythtv/hardwareprofile/sendProfile.py --submitOnly 
-a, status=256, result=1

As you'll see from the timestamps, this adds a 45-second or so delay to 
mythfrontend starting up, during which time it looks like it's hung.

Any ideas why it's doing this every time? It looks from the log like it 
should only be doing this every 30 days.

I'm running up-to-date 0.25-fixes from the mythbuntu repos. I've noticed 
this problem for the last week or two.

Cheers,

John
