Binary package hint: mythtv
There are several use cases where the default mythfrontend exit menu is not appropriate:
* Running mythfrontend as an application on a desktop PC, you don't want to accidentally shut down the machine when quitting, but "Exit & Shutdown" is always shown on non-backend machines
* Running a dedicated frontend machine, you don't want to accidentally drop to a desktop when you mean to shut down the machine, but "Exit" is always shown
* Running a combined BE/FE, you cannot be CERTAIN that you will never want to shut down (for example, if a thunderstorm starts, you don't want to leave your machine turned on), but "Exit & Shutdown" is hidden on combined BE/FE machines.
http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/attachment/ticket/3446/mythtv-quitmenu1.diff is a patch to control whether or not exit/shutdown options should be shown, written by myself.
http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/attachment/ticket/3446/3446-mfe-quit-reboot-menu-combined.diff is written by Nick Morrott and also introduces (and controls) a reboot function.
The latter option (with reboot capability) is included ni MythTV SVN changeset 14327 |
Binary package hint: mythtv
This bug is for allowing the user to shutdown PC/myth from their remote and within mythtv.
For a long time the planned solution was with sudo, but using dbus magic instead makes this a lot more functional. There is no chance for regression since shutdown doesn't work right now. |
