<br>
After a recent update of 0.23-fixes (don't know the original rev, but
the new one is r25154) I lost the ability to shutdown my remote,
diskless frontend with the system exit key. It's set to "esc", and if
I hit "esc" from the main menu I do get the 3-item dialog box (Are you
sure you want to exit? No, Yes, Yes and Shutdown).<br>
<br>
"No" indeed cancels, and "Yes" indeed closes mythfrontend. "Yes and
Shutdown does" nothing (neither exits mythfrontend nor shuts down the
system).<br>
<br>
Any hints? I haven't changed any settings so I'm guessing something
changed underneath me when i updated the myth packages. I'm certain
I'm not providing enough information, but I honestly don't know what to
provide that would be relevant. Here's the full version information:<br>
<br>

<br>
Is there a database setting saying what should happen with the "Yes and
shutdown" exit is selected? I see a few options for server shutdown
scripts etc, but their descriptions (and names) suggest that they're
for shutting down/waking up remote backends and not frontends. I'm
happy to be told otherwise though ;)<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

If you have no configuration option to set what Shutdown does, it
sounds like you are using the Mythbuntu packages. They force you to
use dbus as the only shutdown/reboot options, and the dbus shutdown is
currently broken. See <a moz-do-not-send="true"

Yes, I'm running Mythbuntu, although my myth packages are from JYA's
release repository.<br>
<br>
I'm admittedly ignorant of most of what bug 8556 is saying though...
for educational purposes can you clarify a bit? <br>
<br>
1) How do the mythbuntu packages force you to use dbus?<br>
2) Is the dbus shutdown brokenness due to myth, or to something else in
the mythbuntu environment?<br>
3) Looks like the fix in 8556 is a patch to configure... isn't
configure only used at compile time? Are you saying that the packages
themselves are broken because when they were built configure didn't
detect something correctly on the packager's system?<br>
4) "If you have no configuration option to set what Shutdown does"
implies that other people have such configuration options. Is this a
side effect of a bad build due to configure doing the wrong thing, or
are they just missing a script the database is pointing to (or similar)?<br>
<br>
Thanks again,<br>
<br>

1) Stock myth has the option to use custom commands to reboot/shutdown
or to fall back on dbus as the method to do so. A patch included in
the mythbuntu packages has a comment that says "Fixes up the shutdown
behavior so users can't break it" which removes the custom commands and
only uses the dbus methods.<br>
2) The brokenness is due to myth, see #3.<br>
3) Yes, that is the problem. To use dbus, qtdbus is required, and a
change was made to trunk and subsequently backported to fixes that
modified the method configure uses to find qtdbus. Due to the bug
described in my ticket, configure is unable to find qtdbus, so the the
dbus functionality is disabled.<br>
4) This is due to mythbuntu's patch, as described in #1.<br>
