If I restart mythbackend from a terminal within KDE using "/etc/init.d/mythbackend restart", it seems to use KDE session management somehow. After logging off, the next time I start KDE, I get a prompt for a root password so that it can restart mythbackend with some sort of "-session" parameter. The mythbackend that I started earlier is (correctly) still running. This has happened to me several times (though I would like to repeat it under more controlled conditions) Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start KDE 2. Su to root and run "/etc/init.d/mythbackend restart" 3. Exit KDE using the logout button 4. Restart KDE. Actual Results: KDE su popped up a dialog box asking for a password to run mythbackend with root priviledges. Expected Results: KDE session management should have ignored mythbackend - it's a daemon and has no GUI Using KDE 3.4 and mythtv 0.18.1-r1. Mythbackend is running as root. makomk@lycos.co.uk 2005-08-04 03:13:01 0000 Okay, it looks like I was wrong. It seems that (if I start mythbackend in the way I specified) it is terminated when I log out of KDE. Also, since I initially filed the bug, I've succesfully reproduced it using the steps indicated. (I did add a comment to this effect, but it appears to have got lost.) By the way, I'm using QT 3.3.4-r3. makomk@lycos.co.uk 2005-08-12 03:10:09 0000 Created an attachment (id=65743) Modified /etc/init.d/mythbackend It turns out there's a fairly simple workaround/fix for this. The attached /etc/init.d/mythbackend unsets DISPLAY and SESSION_MANAGEMENT (the former may be unneccesary, but it does no harm). I should've figured this out earlier. This isn't a perfect fix; mythbackend shouldn't be using session management in teh first place. It seems to work though. cardoe@gentoo.org 2006-03-09 23:06:35 0000 Please use MythTV 0.19 65743 2005-08-12 03:10 0000 Modified /etc/init.d/mythbackend mythbackend text/plain IyEvc2Jpbi9ydW5zY3JpcHQKIyBDb3B5cmlnaHQgMTk5OS0yMDA0IEdlbnRvbyBGb3VuZGF0aW9u CiMgRGlzdHJpYnV0ZWQgdW5kZXIgdGhlIHRlcm1zIG9mIHRoZSBHTlUgR2VuZXJhbCBQdWJsaWMg TGljZW5zZSB2MgojICRIZWFkZXI6IC92YXIvY3Zzcm9vdC9nZW50b28teDg2L21lZGlhLXR2L215 dGh0di9maWxlcy8wLjE4LW15dGhiYWNrZW5kLnJjLHYgMS4zIDIwMDUvMDUvMjIgMjI6NDM6MTkg Y2FyZG9lIEV4cCAkCgpkZXBlbmQoKSB7CgluZWVkIG5ldAoJdXNlIG15c3FsCn0KCmNoZWNrY29u ZmlnKCkgewoJaWYgWyAke01ZVEhfVVNFUn0gIT0gInJvb3QiIF07IHRoZW4KCQlmb3IgaSBpbiAk KGdyb3VwcyAiJHtNWVRIX1VTRVIvOiovfSIpIDsgZG8KCQkJW1sgIiR7aX0iID09ICJhdWRpbyIg XV0gJiYgYXVkaW89InllcyIKCQkJW1sgIiR7aX0iID09ICJ2aWRlbyIgXV0gJiYgdmlkZW89Inll cyIKCQlkb25lCgoJCWlmIFsgLXogIiR7YXVkaW99IiAtbyAteiAiJHt2aWRlb30iIF0gOyB0aGVu CgkJCWV3YXJuICIiCgkJCVtbIC16ICIke2F1ZGlvfSIgXV0gJiYgXAoJCQlld2FybiAiJHtISUxJ VEV9JHtNWVRIX1VTRVIvOiovfSR7Tk9STUFMfSBpcyBub3QgaW4gdGhlIGF1ZGlvIGdyb3VwIgoJ CQlbWyAteiAiJHt2aWRlb30iIF1dICYmIFwKCQkJZXdhcm4gIiR7SElMSVRFfSR7TVlUSF9VU0VS LzoqL30ke05PUk1BTH0gaXMgbm90IGluIHRoZSB2aWRlbyBncm91cCIKCQkJZXdhcm4gIiIKCQkJ ZXdhcm4gImluc3VmZmljaWVudCBwZXJtaXNzaW9ucyBkaXNjb3ZlcmVkIgoJCQlld2FybiAibXl0 aGJhY2tlbmQgbWF5IG5vdCBzdGFydCBjb3JyZWN0bHkiCgkJCWV3YXJuICIiCgkJZmkKCWZpCn0K CnN0YXJ0KCkgewoJW1sgLXogIiR7TVlUSF9VU0VSfSIgXV0gJiYgTVlUSF9VU0VSPSJub2JvZHki CglbWyAteiAiJHtNWVRIX05JQ0V9IiBdXSAmJiBNWVRIX05JQ0U9IjAiCglbWyAteiAiJHtNWVRI X1ZFUkJPU0V9IiBdXSAmJiBNWVRIX1ZFUkJPU0U9Im5vbmUiCgljaGVja2NvbmZpZwoKCUhPTUU9 Ii92YXIvbG9nL215dGh0di8iCglRVERJUj0vdXNyL3F0LzMKCXVuc2V0IERJU1BMQVkKCXVuc2V0 IFNFU1NJT05fTUFOQUdFUgoKCSMgV29yayBhcm91bmQgYW55IHN0cmFuZ2UgcGVybWlzc2lvbnMg dGhhdCBtYXkgYmUgb24gdGhlc2UgZmlsZXMuCgljaG93biAtUiAiJHtNWVRIX1VTRVJ9IiAvdmFy L2xvZy9teXRodHYvCgoJZWJlZ2luICJTdGFydGluZyBNeXRoVFYgQmFja2VuZCIKCXN0YXJ0LXN0 b3AtZGFlbW9uIC0tc3RhcnQgLS1xdWlldCAtLWNodWlkICIke01ZVEhfVVNFUn0iIFwKCQktLWV4 ZWMgL3Vzci9iaW4vbXl0aGJhY2tlbmQgLS1uaWNlbGV2ZWwgIiR7TVlUSF9OSUNFfSIgXAoJCS0t bWFrZS1waWRmaWxlIC0tcGlkZmlsZSAvdmFyL3J1bi9teXRoYmFja2VuZC5waWQgXAoJCS0tYmFj a2dyb3VuZCAtLSAtLXZlcmJvc2UgJHtNWVRIX1ZFUkJPU0V9IFwKCQktLWxvZ2ZpbGUgL3Zhci9s b2cvbXl0aHR2L215dGhiYWNrZW5kLmxvZwoJZWVuZCAkPwp9CgpzdG9wICgpIHsKCWViZWdpbiAi U3RvcHBpbmcgTXl0aFRWIEJhY2tlbmQiCglzdGFydC1zdG9wLWRhZW1vbiAtLXN0b3AgLS1xdWll dCAtLXBpZGZpbGU9L3Zhci9ydW4vbXl0aGJhY2tlbmQucGlkCgllZW5kICQ/Cn0K
