The box wakes up fine, but mythfrontend does not realize that mysqld is available. Instead, it keeps retrying. It would seem to me that it tries to connect to localhost instead of using ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt. I'm running trunk r14355. Please see attached log: {{{ laga@prometheus:~$ mythfrontend 2007-08-31 14:07:36.242 Using runtime prefix = /usr 2007-08-31 14:07:36.245 DPMS is disabled. 2007-08-31 14:07:40.402 Cannot find (ping) database host 192.168.0.118 on the network 2007-08-31 14:07:40.422 New DB connection, total: 1 2007-08-31 14:07:40.427 Using WOL to wakeup database server (Try 1 of 5) 2007-08-31 14:08:10.441 Using WOL to wakeup database server (Try 2 of 5) 2007-08-31 14:08:40.451 Using WOL to wakeup database server (Try 3 of 5) 2007-08-31 14:09:10.465 Using WOL to wakeup database server (Try 4 of 5) 2007-08-31 14:09:40.477 Using WOL to wakeup database server (Try 5 of 5) 2007-08-31 14:10:10.489 WOL failed, unable to connect to database! 2007-08-31 14:10:10.490 Unable to connect to database! 2007-08-31 14:10:10.490 Driver error was [1/1045]: QMYSQL3: Unable to connect Database error was: Access denied for user 'mythtv'@'localhost' (using password: YES) QSqlQuery::exec: database not open QSqlQuery::exec: database not open 2007-08-31 14:10:10.545 DB Error (KickDatabase): }}} etc.. I've taken a look at mythdbcon.cpp but I couldn't find the root of the problem - I'm not a coder, though. I also made sure that the mysqld was indeed available by logging in remotely.
