Yet another "could not connect to the master backend server" error

[zaprat]

I managed to get ACPI working with myhwelcome however I now get error "could not connect to the master backend server" on mythbuntu 9.04. AfterI hit OK it the Mythwelcome starts OK.

I am using mythwelcome ie. MYTHWELCOME=true in the /etc/mythtv/session-settings file.

I tried adding "sleep 5" in front of the Exec=mythfrontend in the mythtv.desktop but this did not help as in the instructions in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV/Install/WhatNext/ACPIWake
for 8.04 but this did not work.

I believe the issue may be that the front end it attempting to connect before the backend is ready.

Any suggestions on how to resolve this in 9.04

Solved:

ammended the mythtv.desktop
replaced
exec=mythfrontend --service
with
exec=/usr/bin/MythStart

then created executable script MythStart in /usr/bin/
!#bin/sh
#put this script in /usr/bin/MythStart
# wait 10 sec whilst backend starts
sleep 10
# run the mythwelcome &/or mythfrontend
mythfrontend --service &
