[mythtv-users] Problems with automatic shutdown/restart

[Yann Lehmann]

Hi

My system (combined backend/frontend) is running MythTV 0.25 from the 
Mythbuntu repos.

I have set it up to shutdown when idle and restart when it has something 
to record, following the instructions on the wiki (ACPI Wakeup and 
Mythwelcome).

Unfortunately, the system reboots instead of shutting down.

This happened with Ubuntu 10.04, but is still there on 12.04 (fresh 
install).

It seems I am not alone with this problem, but I have not found a 
solution yet.

If I shutdown the system on the command line ('shutdown -P now'), it 
shuts down. The same command in the settings of Mythwelcome doesn't work 
(reboot).

When trying to shutdown with 'mythshutdown --shutdown', the system 
displays a message that it will reboot, and so it does.



Thank you for any help

Regards
Yann

PS: I have updated MythTV to 0.26, the system still reboots instead of 
shutting down.
