Has this been fixed or is there any activity on this problem? I just
upgraded to 16.10 today and after running into the usual mysql password
problem, I gave up and purged mysql and mythtv, deleted all mythtv files
and directories, rebooted, and reinstalled mythtv from scratch.

I have the same continuously restarting frontend with exit code 139.

As an aside, I have been running mythtv on ubuntu for over 5 years and
an ubuntu upgrade rarely manages to complete without killing mythtv. It
doesn't break every time but most times it does which usually burns a
whole day since I can't remember if this fix will be the same as last
version fix or the same as last year's fix. I'm not a linux pro so I
have to relearn all those terminal commands I haven't touched in 6
months. Plus little things like mysql commands on the mythtv
troubleshooting page that no longer work unless you add the -p parameter
which current versions of mysql now require and mysql does not say -p is
missing, it just fails leaving you wondering why.

Title:
  Mythtv frontend stuck in restart loop (code 139) after update to
  Ubuntu 16.10

Status in mythtv package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After updating to Ubuntu 16.10, Mythtv frontend will not shut down -
  it appears to function normally but on exit (normal exit at my
  request), there is an onscreen notification "the frontend has crashed
  unexpectedly (exit code 139).  Restarting, please wait ..." and the
  frontend restarts.

  This was working without problems on 16.04.  I read that this is due
  to timezone problems??   The backend is on the same PC as the frontend
  so should see the same timezone.  I can't see any error messages in
  the log (frontend or backend) either.

  Any advice or help welcomed...
