[mythtv-users] after upgrade, frontend can't connect to backend?

[Ken Truesdale]

I upgraded a frontend only computer today from 12.04 to 14.04.  It is a
Mythbuntu install that was new for 12.04 and this is the only time the OS
has been upgraded.  Other than feverishly trying to free up space as the
upgrade kept consuming it (despite the upgrade saying it had enough space!),
the upgrade seemed to go well.  

 

After the upgrade when I try to start Mythfrontend, I get no database could
be found error.  I checked the config.xml and it has the right info in it.
I ran the frontend from terminal (with debug level) and found that the
frontend does ping the correct backend IP, then there's the statement saying
"FindDatabase() - Success!".  Great so far.  But then the first instance of
MythCoreContext says "Connecting to backend server: 127.0.0.1:6543 (try 1 of
1)".  Under what circumstances would the frontend find and use config.xml
initially and then ignore the info when it is time to connect?  

 

The only other log content that may be of interest (between the database
success and using loopback IP as backend IP) is pasted below.  I'm not sure
if any of this is related to the problem.  (the thing about
"IP_MULTICAST_IF" seems like a reasonable culprit?)
