System not shutting down

[j2@…]

Previously I was running trunk up to and including v0.25pre-3552-gbac6cd7

The above version did let me shut down the system, but it suffered from ticket 10107, so I upgraded again.

But, for some reason every revision I have pulled since the above revision does not shut down.

I am currently running v0.25pre-3600-ge94a40f (see attached --version output)

Mythwelcome shows "Mythtv is isle" but i see no count down.

ALsdo, running mythshutdown seem to think the system is OK to shut down:

mythtv@MythBox:~$ mythshutdown -v -c

I know this is a bit vague, but I will happily provide any other info needed.

The patch suggested in ​http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/496192#496192 worked for me.

What's the status of this fix in the official 0.25 release?

I've just upgraded from 0.24 on Mythbuntu 11.10 to 0.25 on Mythbuntu 12.04 and I seem to be hitting this problem.

I've confirmed that the shutdown commands in both the backend config and mythwelcome work. I can do a "shutdown now" from the mythwelcome menu and it works. However if I just leave it idle it sits there saying it's idle but never shutting down.

If required I can supply further info.

Thanks

Closing a really old ticket. I no longer use it but I'm told it's working in master. There is also some pending commits from Lawrence to fix some problems with MythWelcome?.

You can now also use the idle screen in what will be 0.28. See ​https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Idle_Screen
