Hi Folks!<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Using a Backend of Mythbuntu 16.04 and a Frontend of Ubuntu 16.04 and MythTV 0.28. This particular Frontend will sometimes connect to the Backend – when it does great, when it doesn't goes to the 'Language Select' screen, which appears to be normal for a bad connect. Using the Terminal command 'mythfrontend' will give me a session log which I have partially copied below, one for when it connects and one for when it did not. <BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Noted both said “access denied for user <A HREF="mailto:mythtv@localhost">mythtv@localhost</A>”. That surprised me as is a key finding in the need to re-install MySQL What seems to be the problem is the FE will try to connect using an IPv6 address (I'm too much of a newbie to be sure), yet I can exit, repeat the command and it will connect with the IPv4 address (or at least the correct one) inserted. <BR>
<BR>
<BR>
In the logs below in realtime I captured the Didn't Connect first, then the Did Connect but easier for me to look at what worked and compare to what's not working, so posted backwards per clock time. <BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Any help in correcting this connection problem appreciated! “Extra points” for what I'm guessing is a permissions error with '/home/barry/.mythtv'. I can't change Themes but at least I can watch recordings! (When it decides to connect!)<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Thanks!!<BR>
<BR>
