Compare the contents of /home/mythtv/.mythtv/mysql.txt (the login that
works) with /home/$YOURUSER/.mythtv/mysql.txt (your normal user) and

Thanks for the idea Nick, but they're idendical:<br>
<br>
DBHostName=192.168.0.2<br>
DBUserName=mythtv<br>
DBPassword=mythtv<br>
DBName=mythconverg<br>
DBType=QMYSQL3<br>
<br>
# Set the following if you want to use something other than the<br>
# machine's real hostname for identifying settings in the database.<br>
# This is useful if your hostname changes often, as otherwise<br>
# you'll need to reconfigure mythtv (or futz with the DB) every time.<br>
# TWO HOSTS MUST NOT USE THE SAME VALUE<br>
#<br>
# LocalHostName=mythbox<br>
<br>
# If you want your frontend to be able to wake your MySQL server<br>
# using WakeOnLan, have a look at the following settings:<br>
#<br>
# Set the time the frontend waits (in seconds) between reconnect tries.<br>
# This should be the rough time your MySQL server needs for startup<br>
#WOLsqlReconnectWaitTime=0<br>
#<br>
#<br>
# This is the amount of retries to wake the MySQL server until the
frontend<br>
# gives up<br>
#WOLsqlConnectRetry=5<br>
#<br>
#<br>
# This is the command executed to wake your MySQL server.<br>
#WOLsqlCommand=echo 'WOLsqlServerCommand not set'<br>
<br>
<br>
The <br>
# LocalHostName=mythbox<br>
line has been un-hashed out in the past, but I re-hashed it when I was
fixing things.<br>
<br>
I seem to have got two 'roots' now though (if that's the corect
terminoligy). For example, if I log into Ubuntu using user 'mythtv',
pass 'mythtv', then whenever I use 'sudo' in the terminal, the password
I need is 'mythtv'. When I log into my normal user and use sudo, the
password I need is my usual password. This is probably normal but
thought I should mention it just in case it points out what's going on.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
Damian
