I have my solution... the problem is that your backend cannot find the mysql server, my case was because I had an extra mysql.txt file which was incorrect, What I did to fix it was find that incorrect file [ sudo find / -name mysql.txt -print ] and check each file to make sure its correct then you

Guyverix, I never tried creating an empty text file in /var/log/mythtv/ and naming it mythbackend.log something like: sudo echo > /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log It might not fix the problem, but I didn't have the backend log file, and I wondered if that was the cause. Maybe the file isn't bei

I will also chime in on this one. Fresh install of Mythbuntu 9.04 alpha 6.1 i386. System was installed as a frontend only. I found that the backend process was running as well, and continuously accessing the disk. I killed the process and it stopped. I have not fixed this problem as of yet, s

Nick, these log files do exist, but they are both empty. I just used a ubuntu package, I didn't build mythtv myself. I don't remember seeing an error logging option, although I didn't look for one. After installing mythtv, I never really used it. After spending ages trying to get my obscure tv tu

No, the issue was with the backend. The frontend was not running. The disc activity sounded like a constant churning, initially I thought it was a surface scan. It sounded like the process was either reading, or writing constant data (there were no fluctuations like you would expect when a process

I also had the same problem, with mythTV. I had constant hard disc activity for nearly 3 days, before I checked to see what was causing it. iotop showed mythtv-backend was the culprit, and I killed that process. The disc activity stopped. I use Ubuntu 8.10 Linux ood 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Thu

If you could go into your Synaptic history and post which packages you removed to fix it, it would narrow down where the bug needs fixed. Without that, I can't see whether the problem exists in the backend or if it's a theme. ** Changed in: mythtv (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- Con
