I have had a
FE/BE running for some time now with very few problems, and have decided to setup a Frontend only system using the
Acer AspireRevo r1600.
I have read the other post about using the r3600 Revo as a Frontend and Frontend/Backend system(
Acer Aspire Revo 3610 with Streamzap)
I generated the recovery disk(s) for the Revo system to allow me to restore later if required (most likely never will), then proceeded to install LinHES R6.02 from a CD mounted via a usb connected DVD/CD Rom.
I proceed to run through the installation and this is where I get stuck. I am not sure what is required to link the Frontend to the Backend. After installation, and a reboot the system boots. I see the Yellow LinHES splash, see the alt+h option for the help menu, then LinHES just sits on the splash screen.
Doing any alt+x to get a terminal, I can check the log file(s), mythfrontend.log it states the following:

Apparently the new Frontend is not able to connect to the Backend. The other errors are for LIRC (no remote connected, yet), and Empty LocalHostName. The empty LocalHostName is/was one of the questions during the installation.
I did run into some of the same problems during installation like mention here:
My experience with 6.02.00 from a USB stick
If anyone could point me in the right direction, or give any suggestions that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
J.
