database if there's a problem with your config.xml or, for example, if you
change around host names and/or IP addresses.  You haven't described your
configuration at all (number of hosts, host names, which are dedicated
backends or frontends and which are combined backend/frontend systems,
location of mythconverg database, ...), so there are many reasons this
could occur, but from the logs you posted, I see:

really the one you want to use and the one you have been using for MythTV?
Are you sure your ~mythtv/.mythtv/config.xml specifies the proper location
and connection information for your MySQL database?

I use a combined fe be only, yes "daryl-A780L3C" is the host name I have
been using, I thought about using a different one a while back but staying
with this one was simpler. I just checked the myth box,which is a Ubuntu
desktop also and the chromium browser I had left open with gmail had closed
and I was unable to relaunch it, just a few pulses then nothing. I' m going
to look into the config files now.
