<p>Hi All <br>
</p>
<p>This is mainly for Stephen.</p>
<p>I am continuing to fine tune my new install and have identified a
problem with Stephen's Systemctl helper scripts in Xubuntu 20.04.</p>
<p>With the server halt command in BE shutdown/wake up options set
as : <font color="#13683b">"sudo
/usr/local/bin/mythtv-systemctl-helper.sh poweroff" </font>
the BE attempts to shutdown after being idle for 300 seconds as
per the settings dictate . The shutdown gets as far as the Xubuntu
splash with the rotating indicator then locks up - the rotating
indicator freezes. <br>
</p>
<p>The only way to escape this is to do a hard reset on the system -
magic SysRq does not work.</p>
<p>I have tried all the <font color="#13683b">mythtv-systemctl-helper.sh</font>
options from the terminal and they all work fine.</p>
<p>Reverting the server halt command in BE back to <font
color="#13683b">sudo sh -c "mythshutdown -- shutdown" </font>
makes everything work normal.</p>
<p>The back end start and stop commands in Backend Control
settings, that use <font color="#13683b">mythtv-systemctl-helper.sh
poweroff <font color="#f7faf8">don't seem to be a problem
(so far)</font></font></p>
<p><font color="#13683b"><font color="#f7faf8">I'm using ACPI wake
up on this system but this shutdown lock up problem showed up
before I enabled Mythwelcome .</font></font></p>
<p><font color="#13683b"><font color="#f7faf8">With Mythwelcome
enabled and using the default </font></font><font
color="#13683b"><font color="#f7faf8">server halt command ,
everything seems to work fine. Mythwelcome shuts the system
down if there are no recordings in the near future and starts
the system up again in time to record scheduled programmes.<br>
</font></font></p>
<p><font color="#13683b"><font color="#f7faf8">The setup I'm using
comes from this tutorial: <a moz-do-not-send="true"

</font></font></p>
<p><font color="#13683b"><font color="#f7faf8">My current system is
Mythbuntu 16.04 and does not use the helper scripts (I think
the install predates them) and does not seem to have any
problems.<br>
