I upgraded my mythbuntu box from 12.04 to 13.10 and also moved from
myth 0.25 to 0.27. Unfortunately now when I boot I get a blank
screen instead of mythwelcome.<br>
The mythwelcome, mythfrontend and mythbackend processes are all
running in the background, I just can't see them. When I boot in
recovery mode and then resume mythwelcome and mythfrontend do appear
so I'm guessing there's something wrong with the video drivers or X.
I can't find any significant problems in the system logs (dmesg,
kern.log, syslog, Xorg.0.log). mythwelcome.log has some errors in it
such as:<br>
<br>
<small><tt>CoreContext mythuiwebbrowser.cpp:962 (Init)
MythUIWebBrowser: failed to find our parent screen </tt></small><br>
<small><tt>MythSocketThread(-1) mythsocket.cpp:661
(ConnectToHostReal) MythSocket(305eb30:-1): Failed to connect to
(127.0.0.1:6543) Connection refused</tt></small><br>
<small><tt>CoreContext mythcorecontext.cpp:488

server settings#012#011#011#011in mythtv-settings does not
contain the proper IP address</tt></small><br>
<br>
I have to say I don't know what is going wrong nor where to look
next to find out. Any pointers would be appreciated.<br>
<br>
The end of my mythwelcome.log looks like:<br>
