hi schaze
sadly, this problem is still present on lucid.
ive recently installed mythtv on it and i found this problem too. it take a lot of time find some usefull info at blogs, until finally found this. but i have to confesse iam a newbie on ubuntu and i cant hardly understand where to find the files or make the scripts on it, so it would be great to see a little How-To in order to achieve the fix.
thanks a lot, in advance.
cheers

Status in “mythtv” package in Ubuntu: Triaged

Bug description:
Binary package hint: mythbuntu-common

I upgraded mythbuntu to 9.10.  Now when I boot, mythwelcome is unable to connect to mysql and comes with a setup dialog. (first screen is choosing the language.) Starting mythwelcome or mythfrontend manually from a terminal works fine, since at that point mysql and mythtv-backend have started. 

I tried delaying the start of mythwelcome in /usr/share/mythtv/mythfrontend.sh. I got it so far that mythwelcome only complains about not finding mythbackend. 
My suspicion is that mythwelcome/mythfrontend start before mysql, mythbackend and/or lircd are correctly started. Either those should be started earlier, or the script that starts mythwelcome/mythfrontend should actively check for those.

If any other information is needed, please let me know.

P.S. possibly mythbuntu-common is not the appropriate package, but it is definitely a mythbuntu setup problem.
