<pre>Hi there,<br>I am guessing it's the user that is trying to start mythtv that's the problem. When you<br>manually start mythtv-backend, do you use sudo in your command? What user do you log in<br>with? Also, how does your hosts file look? What ip do you have in the mythtv-setup?<br>I am not entirely sure how to help but it sounds like the user that is being used to <br>start mythtv when the machine starts up isn't allowed to connect to the database<br>but when you use sudo, that works because root can access anything. I think? Sorry<br>I couldn't be more help.<br><br>Daniel<br><br>[Hello,<br>[ I have a remote backend running on ubuntu 7.10.
