in rebuilding all my Frontends with v29 I ran across some interesting items.  First, on one Intel NUC I installed Ubuntu 16.04 Server then added the Xubuntu-Desktop, then removed Libreoffice.  Installing Mythtv-frontend was a breeze.  There were very little power saving options and I turned them all off as well as not turning the display off.  That system works great and I can power off my TV or switch video inputs and the mythtv is always there when I turn on the TV and switch to it?s input.  No issues with that solution.

On another NUC in another room, I installed Xubuntu 16.04.3  Desktop completely and setup all the power and screen options the best I could to not turn anything off.  But on that computer, If I cut off the A/V receiver the NUC is connected to, the screen never comes back.  I couldn?t solve this quickly so I put the full Ubuntu 16.04.3 Desktop and removed Libreoffice.  This system now works correctly when I turn off the A/V receiver without confusing the NUC.

Strange, at least to me.



Jim 16.04 on NUC if the screensaver goes ON then it never can be set off
17.04 fixed that issue likewise 17.10
Nothing to do with myth

James,

Let me see if I understand clearly.  Xubuntu 17.04 and 17.10 fix the screensaver issue on the NUC???
