Sadly no - in Mythbuntu when you ext mythfrontend you are left on the<br>
xfce desktop.<br></blockquote></div><br><br>Can anyone suggest a script or something we can use to get that behavior though? That would be nice. I also ran into a similiar issue yesterday. The frontend refused to start because the time was off compared to the server. I can certainly see why they should match, but can't the frontend app just update the time? Even if it's just a one time thing, I don't think we need to build NTP into Myth, but a quick time update to match the server shouldn't be a big deal. I do have NTP installed, but it does take some time to get synced up. It would also be nice if it would show an error message rather than crashing out. A user shouldn't need to go find the logfile to know why the frontend app didn't load. <br>
<br>For the time case, I suppose I could add a call to ntpdate if the FE dies before dropping back to gdm if I had a script that would do that. <br>
