OOPs obviously I misunderstood, after reading further into the posting logs<div class="im"><br>
how-to, I realize that I don't know the path to the log you would like to<br>
see, I tried a few things that were not even close. What command will<br>
produce the log?<br>

If memory serves, you're running mythbuntu and the logs are most likely<br>
in /var/log/mythtv. The backend log is probably mythbackend.log Note that<br>
it could be huge, so just look for the last occurrence of a line that looks<br>
similar to this: mythbackend version: master [v0.27-RC1] <a href="http://www.mythtv.org" target="_blank">www.mythtv.org</a><br>
and paste it and the lines that follow.<br>
<br>
There isn't a command to dump the logs, just: cat whatEverYourLogIsNamed<br>
<br>
Replying to your follow-up, there were only 7 bytes in the file on launchpad.<br>
<br>
Here's a fragment of my backend log: <a href="http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=ZESEJsMm" target="_blank">http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=<u></u>ZESEJsMm</a><br>
<br>
Your's should be similar, and longer.<div class=""><div class="h5"><br>

<div>When I look in the GUI I find mythbackend in /usr/bin. When I "cat /usr/bin/mythbackend" I get copious unintelligible symbols strewn randomly throughout the terminal with a sprinkling of words here and there. Try the paste bin below, it is from mythbackend.log.2; there are other backend logs too, but I thought this would be most recent:</div>
