Right now I have it just go to a screensaver... I disabled all power management with gnome-power-preferences. When it goes to the screensaver, mythfrontend freezes. My remote wont stop the screensaver. If I wiggle the mouse the screensaver stops, and mythfrontend is completely unresponsive. Nothing in the logs. I need to remotely kill mythfrontend, and then restart it.</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">This is driving me NUTS. I running mythbuntu 8.10 w/ the weekly fixes build. The past two updates seem to have made this worse. It use to happen maybe 30-40% of the time, but now it freezes 100% of the time if I let it sit idle for a while. I have no other problems.</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">What could mythfrontend be doing while idle that would cause it to lock up, and NOT leave anything in the logs? I dont know how lirc works, but I find it strange I can wake up the screensaver with the mouse but not the remote. But since I believe lirc only influences mythfrontend, with mythfrontend hung, I guess it makes sense. I'm pulling out my hair over here, because every time I sit down to watch TV it turns into a big ordeal.</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Thanks!</span></font></div></body></html>
