Since migrating from FC6/mythtv 0.21 to mythbuntu 9.04, I have been
working on and eventually fixing a number of distractions.
This is one I haven't been able to resolve. The FE is started up thru
mythwelcome and automatically starts mythfrontend just fine. However,
unlike with myth 0.21, the exit dialog for mythfrontend does not
include a shutdown option. Fine, I thought, I'll just go to the menu
in mythwelcome and choose "Shutdown Now". No dice. It either comes
back with "No, I won't, the backend is busy recording" or just ignore
me (I think I still need to do some more work with sudoers to allow
shutdown without a password). When I exit, I'm left with a mythbuntu
desktop that does nothing with the remote. I have to have a keyboard
and mouse to get to the exit menu and select thru two or three dialogs
to get the FE shut off. Not cool.
I want to shutdown just the FE without doing anything to the BE, and
do it with the remote. How do I get this set up? Is there some
option in mythwelcome, mythfrontend settings, or in mythtv-setup that
I need to change/correct?
Any advice welcome.
Craig.
