I've done some further testing and this issue only occurs when using the mythbuntu desktop (xfce). If you use ubuntu desktop (gnome) it works fine.
The WOL command is sent in libs/mythdbcon - OpenDatabase (if frontend 'Ping test server?' is disabled) or in libs/mythcontext - TestDBconnection (if frontend 'Ping test server?' is enabled. Commenting out the line that sends the WOL Command and then manually starting the backend still shows the same issue. Steps to reproduce :- On a remote frontend using the mythbuntu desktop (xfce) 1. Install wakeonlan - sudo apt-get install wakeonlan 2. In the frontend -> setup -> general -> Database Configuration 2/2 . Enable Database Server Wakeup, set reconnect time (e.g. 60), retry attempts (e.g. 5) and set wake command to /usr/bin/wakeonlan <Backend MAC ADDRESS> 3. Make sure backend network card is set-up for WOL - although for testing you can manually start it up when required 4. Shutdown backend. 5. Start frontend. When frontend detects that the backend is available it will start to load the theme but then quits back to desktop -- ICEauthority issues after remote frontend wakes up database server https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/514727 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
