<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
color="#f7faf8"></font></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 in time to record 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 and does
not seem to have any problems.<br>
