The detection of whether a start-up is manual/scheduled and the
automatic mythfrontend start-up is working ok in 9.10 and now 10.04 for
me.

What settings do you have for mythbackend Shutdown/Wakeup Options
(mythtv-setup)  & MythShutdown/MythWelcome Settings (mythwelcome --setup
or F11 in mythwelcome)

@Paul Chau. From the MythWelcome settings page (accessed by pressing
i/INFO) you can select whether to start Myth Frontend automatically.
However this shoud not need to be disabled a correctly configured system
will detect if start-up is scheduled or manual

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV: Incomplete

Bug description:
I start mythfrontend with the openbox autostart script located in .config:

#!/bin/sh
# Run the system-wide support stuff
.$GLOBALAUTOSTART

# Programs to launch at startup
irexec -d

# Since upstart, we need to wait a little for the backend to start
sleep 5
mythfrontend --service &

In /etc/mythtv/mythtv-settings I have the following line enabled
MYTHWELCOME=true

All the other lines are commented out. I also have nvram-wakeup configured, so my box will start whenever it needs to record something. I would also like it to shutdown once it is done recording. 

Problem is that since 9.10 mythfrontend gets started everytime my mythbox boots. So it won't shutdown after the recording has finished. This used to work with 9.04. I guess upstream changed the way an automatic start gets calculated.
