#6577 closed defect (invalid)

Mythwelcome freezes before displaying any text

Reported by: mikko.ronkko@… Owned by: Isaac Richards
Priority: minor Milestone: unknown
Component: MythTV - Mythwelcome & Mythshutdown Version: unknown
Severity: medium Keywords:

Description

I am running MythTV 0.21 on Ubuntu 9.04. Both frontend and backend run on the same computer. The system is set up to be as lightweight and fast booting as possible: I do not use any login manager, but boot directly to X and mythwelcome. The problem is that when I do a reboot, I always end up with only the background image of Mythwelcome showing. No text or "Start frontend" button.

I suspect that this is caused by Mythwelcome attempting to contact the backend, but the backend has not finished initializing.

You will need to run a window manager to avoid focus issues. Ticket closed as invalid - post a comment if this problem also happens when using a WM.

Replying to laga:

I forgot to mention that I am using ratpoison as a window manager.
