I was looking into using mythwelcome as suggested. This is a frontend
only machine, and is not responsible for any recording... would
mythfrontend be overkill? It seems that it is more geared toward
frontend/backend boxes and slave backends. I'm guessing a basic setup
that can just start and stop the frontend would do the job. I'll mess
around with it when I get home.
<br><br>The Frond End loading script mentioned in the wiki doesn't
work for me in the current situation. The problem is that when
mythfrontend goes down, mythtv user gets logged out. Thus mythfrontend
can't be launched because the widow manager has died as well.... I've
had this problem since I've been using mythtv (~ 2 yrs.). I've
searched around and can't find any references to this problem, so I'm
curious if I am not using the correct search terms, or if it something
specific to my setup.... my mythtv system very stable, so I'm just
cleaning up some of the annoying little problems like the on mentioned
above.

>>I am running Mythtv on Fedora 4 using gdm to auto-login. I followed the instructions described in the<br>>>MythTv Wiki ( <a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Frontend_Auto_Login">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Frontend_Auto_Login
</a> <<a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Frontend_Auto_Login">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Frontend_Auto_Login</a>> ) using Option 1. My system<br>>>starts up great, logs in and starts Mythfrontend. The problem is that if I manually exit the frontend, kill the
<br>>>frontend from a remote terminal, or the frontend crashes, it reverts back to the gdm login screen. I would<br>>>like to be able to use my remote to restart the frontend or have a script that automaticall restarts it if it
<br>>>crashes, but obviously I get thwarted by the fact that I have to login again. I have searched the list and<br>>>haven't seen anyone with the same problem. I've had this problem with the last few fresh installs I've
<br>>>done... anyone have any ideas?<br>><br><br>Try <a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Frontend_Loading_Script">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Frontend_Loading_Script</a><br><br>You can use this in conjunction with your method, just run this script instead of mythfrontend.
