Frontend IP error on cold start

[Mykal F]

On a cold start of my Mythbuntu front/back end I get an error that indicates that an IP address was set up incorrectly and cannot connect to backend, when I only used the basic default install. After which everything seems to run fine. What is interesting is that if I exit the fronted and then go back to the fronted the error does not happen. The error does not happen if I cold start the computer without the 950Q usb tuner, I even left my PCTV HD usb tuner in and it was OK. Something happening because of the 950Q tuner?

Marking as incomplete since this has been open awhile with no work being done.

Is this still and issue? Sounds like the 950q is causing networking to start up later

[Mykal F (jmykal69)]

After gaining more experience with Myth. I don't believe the IP error is caused by a DVB device. I'm using several types and do get the error from time to time still. What I think is happening is the Frontend is trying to contact the Backend before it's ready during the boot process. As I stated earlier I can either select "ok" or even exit the Frontend then reenter the Frontend and not have any more problems.

[Thomas Mashos (tgm4883)]

My gut feeling is this is caused by the backend changes we made requiring udev to finish starting before starting the backend. The fix for that would be to have the frontend wait for the backend to finish starting before it tries to start. Similar to what was done with the backend waiting for mysql.

Mario, can you comment on that?

Before we speculate at all, we really need to make sure this is a problem with *current* packages. There have been all sorts of changes to the way upstart gets things up and running these days and this bug was filed quite a while back originally.

Can the op please indicate what package versions this is occurring with?

[Mykal F (jmykal69)]

This is on the LTS 10.04 Mythbuntu.

What version of MythTV are you using though?

dpkg -l mythtv-backend

[Mykal F (jmykal69)]

MythTV version 23.

[Thomas Mashos (tgm4883)]

Thanks Mikal. Can you post the output of "dpkg -l myth*" If this is
something we fixed in the packaging (which is what I suspect) it would be in
a specific revision number, not the main mythtv version number.

Thanks,

Thomas

I hope this helps.

Can you widen the window when you do that, the fixes24 should actually have
3 more numbers (ie. fixes24648)

I'm not sure it's relevant - that's certainly a 0.23 based build. The fix was applied to 0.24 builds..

Is the OP planning on upgrading to 0.24 anytime?
