Freshly jacked up install of 10.04 and JYA's repos. New (old) box to replace the existing master backend and consolidate all my tuner cards.<br>
Migrated DB, dropped, de-corrupted, and migrated again, successfully.<br>
Deleted all capture cards and added them again but the cards aren't happy yet. Can't get anything on the 150's, A180, or ATSC115.<br>

I've had the same master backend since 0.19 but several slave backends and frontends over the years.<br>
All the slaves (and the original master, iirc) gave me grief because I install myth as a user other than mythtv.<br>
My "fix" has always been running the backend as the user instead of the default mythtv user.<br>
When I was feeling extra ambitious, I'd track down whatever line in the init script that started it as mythtv and change it to the user.<br>
Usually I'd be lazy and kill mythbackend then run mythbackend in a terminal and the box was happy.<br>
I know it ain't right, but it worked for me, up 'til now...<br>
<br>
0.23 brings another wonderful 'Windows' feature to MythTV that keeps the backend alive if it's killed or dies.<br>

That's upstart, which *buntu has chosen to replace sysvinit.<br>

How do I work around this so I can kill it running as mythtv and run it as my user?<br>

I'll leave it to someone who knows upstart to answer your question: "How do I get upstart to start MythTV as a different user?"<br>

Got it.<br>
Apologies to the MythTV developers.<br>
I should have known it was a Winbuntu thing. That distro has been going down hill for a while... Don't know why I stay with it.<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>
