[mythtv-users] FrontEnd will connect if feels like it

[Barry Martin]

Hi Folks!


Using a Backend of Mythbuntu 16.04 and a Frontend of Ubuntu 16.04 and
MythTV 0.28. This particular Frontend will sometimes connect to the
Backend – when it does great, when it doesn't goes to the 'Language
Select' screen, which appears to be normal for a bad connect. Using the
Terminal command 'mythfrontend' will give me a session log which I have
partially copied below, one for when it connects and one for when it did
not. 


Noted both said “access denied for user mythtv at localhost”. That
surprised me as is a key finding in the need to re-install MySQL What
seems to be the problem is the FE will try to connect using an IPv6
address (I'm too much of a newbie to be sure), yet I can exit, repeat
the command and it will connect with the IPv4 address (or at least the
correct one) inserted. 


In the logs below in realtime I captured the Didn't Connect first, then
the Did Connect but easier for me to look at what worked and compare to
what's not working, so posted backwards per clock time. 


Any help in correcting this connection problem appreciated! “Extra
points” for what I'm guessing is a permissions error with
'/home/barry/.mythtv'. I can't change Themes but at least I can watch
recordings! (When it decides to connect!)


Thanks!!


Barry
