Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 beta or later?

I have just experienced this problem with Mythbuntu 8.10, in which it is a race condition between the startup of the LCDd and mythlcdserver processes. The proposed change simply improves the odds of LCDd starting first, and I can confirm that it does work. But a proper solution would be to have the upstream mythtv maintainers fix mythlcdserver so that if it happens to start first, it will periodically retry its connection to LCDd until successful.

There was a mythtv bug fixed back in September that should have been included in 8.10 (http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/changeset/18246). If it is still occurirng, then more debugging is needed.

What does the frontend log say when when it's trying to connect to mythlcdserver?

No reports or response in 4 months... closing. If this is still an issue after testing with mythtv 0.22, please re-open the ticket with fresh logs. Thank you for helping to improve Mythbuntu!
