A few questions as I am migrating from R5.5 to LINHES and still climbing the learning curve on the changes:

1. I use RealVNC to remove view my mythtv desktop. I can run "x11vnc" manually from a putty window but would like to have to run automatically at boot time. What's the best way to do this in LINHES?

2. I do not see the LINHES "service" menu anywhere in the front end -- where do I find it? I'm concerned that it may not have been installed for some reason when I did the install for the CD. Perhaps it has something to do with the ugprade?

3. Under R5.5 I used anacron to ensure that my cronjobs would run properly. (I shutdown my system when its not needed.) What's the equivalent of anacron in LINHES?

Thanks.

Hi

From the Main Menu\Service Menu\Linhes Configuration

It's right between Mythtv Configuration and Backup Linhes

I'm pretty sure anacron will work fine you in Linhes

Graysky asked for this VNC feature in Flyspray about 1 year ago

Thanks for the quick reply. When I look in the main menu I don't see any entry labeled "Service Menu". By the main menu I assume you mean the one that begins with "TV" and then has "Music", Videos, play online streams, etc...

Yes it's at the main menu, if you can't see it I would guess permissions issue. Try running the frontend as root and see if it appears for you...

service menu problem solved as son as I went into the "Appearance" menu and set the menu theme to default...

Still not sure about anacron -- I've tried pacman -S anacron and its not in the repositories...

Glad you straightened it out

Otherwise it 's a request in flyspray I guess...

Thanks for the pointer. Fortunately I'm still not sure how to solve this. People out there must be using the shutdown routines, but without something equivalent to anacron the various cron jobs aren't guaranteed to run properly...

I winder if LINHES addresses this issue out of the box.
