[mythtv-users] Mythfrontend won't start any more

[Phill Edwards]

My MythBuntu mythfrontend-only box has been working fine. Then all of a
sudden mythfrontend won't start any more. If I run it from a command line I
see the output below and then it just hangs there never starting
mythfrontend.

I've tried deleting /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt as per another post but it made
no difference. I've also run a package update to make sure I have the
latest of everything and that made no difference either.

It's very odd because I hadn't made any changes to this frontend, nor to
the backend-only server so I'm at a loss as to why it just suddenly stopped
working. Any ideas?
