I'll preface my reply with I'm no where near an expert but I recently
had a problem with failing plugins, MySQL faults, etc. If you have
"MySQL Tweaks" turned on in MCC (Mythbuntu Control Centre" try turning
that off.  (Apparently something broke with an recent upgrade.)  Error
log from sudo cat /var/log/mysql/error.log includes these two lines:
        (timestamp) [ERROR] unknown variable 'table_cache=128"
        (timestamp) [ERROR] Aborting

Try editing /etc/mythtv/config.xml and /.mythtv/config.xml (notice the
'dot' in "/.mythtv").  BTW, I'm using Mythbuntu/Ubuntu, so the two
config.xml's may be elsewhere.

You might want to reference the assistance I was given in mid-July in
the thread "MythVE1 Backend Failed"

Good Luck!
