<br>Hi all,<br><br>I am trying to set my MythTV frontend (also the backend) so that from a<br>power on/reset it will come up and load the Mythfrontend.<br><br>I created a lowly user, told gnome to auto-login as that user. (that seems
<br>to work)<br><br>I have a dual output GeForce 4 (using the DMI for Myth, the CRT for<br>administration) And I normally start mythfront end like this:<br><br>DISPLAY=":0.1" mythfrontend<br><br>My lowly user couldn't do that and capture the sound card. (Even the gnome
<br>panel audio control stays permanently muted.) So I have the user "sudo"<br>start the command above. That "kinda" worked.. Watching .iso movie rips<br>works fine, but LiveTV has no sound. When I run alsamixer all my outputs
<br>are un-muted and at high volume. The same effect with MythMusic, it sees<br>all my .mp3's, but will not play any of them. My MP3 directory is 777<br>even.<br><br>I am not sure if the reason I am having audio troubles is due to how I
<br>have my lowly user set-up. When I was just running a root account,<br>everything worked (MythDVD/MythTV/MythMusic)<br><br>I have also noticed that the MythTV module has odd behavior. If I have shows<br>in the program queue ready to record, and I add one, I no longer see ANY
<br>of them. I have to drop the back-end and restart it, then my previous<br>programs and my new one show up. If I am watching LIVE TV and I hit<br>record, that taping works, but never shows up in the "Previously<br>
Recorded" list of shows, again until I restart Mythbackend.<br><br>I would like to keep the auto login idea so my family doesn't have to mess<br>with Linux. If I try to start the frontend before the GDM desktop is up,
<br>it fails to get my DISPLAY=":0.1" (as that display is still the B&W Xorg<br>cross-hatching.)<br><br>I am sorry if I have posted unrelated problems, but just in case all are<br>related in an obvious way I thought it might help.
<br><br>Has anyone done the auto-login method using GDM that would share how you<br>set it up?<br><br>Nick</blockquote><div><br>What flavor of linux are you using? I am using Ubuntu and have that working fine.<br><br>Allan
