My fix for this was as follows; 1. Move the init for mythbackend from 20 to 50. 2. Change the network configuration.
Details; 1. Move the init for mythbackend from 20 to 50. Type: sudo update-rc.d -f mythtv-backend remove Echo: Removing any system startup links for /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend ... /etc/rc0.d/K20mythtv-backend /etc/rc1.d/K20mythtv-backend /etc/rc2.d/S20mythtv-backend /etc/rc3.d/S20mythtv-backend /etc/rc4.d/S20mythtv-backend /etc/rc5.d/S20mythtv-backend /etc/rc6.d/K20mythtv-backend Type: sudo update-rc.d mythtv-backend defaults 50 Echo: Adding system startup for /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend ... /etc/rc0.d/K50mythtv-backend -> ../init.d/mythtv-backend /etc/rc1.d/K50mythtv-backend -> ../init.d/mythtv-backend /etc/rc6.d/K50mythtv-backend -> ../init.d/mythtv-backend /etc/rc2.d/S50mythtv-backend -> ../init.d/mythtv-backend /etc/rc3.d/S50mythtv-backend -> ../init.d/mythtv-backend /etc/rc4.d/S50mythtv-backend -> ../init.d/mythtv-backend /etc/rc5.d/S50mythtv-backend -> ../init.d/mythtv-backend 2. Change the network configuration. On the desktop select; Applications > System > Network Type your sudo password if prompted. Select your wired connection on the "Connections" tab. Select "Properties" Uncheck "Enable Roaming Profile" Change the configuration to DHCP or Static. Note: If you do use DHCP I highly recommend a static DHCP assignment in your router or you may have problems in the future. Reboot..... And for me the problem is fixed. -- mythtv fails to connect to remote DB on inital boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/149268 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
