Bug Description

Binary package hint: mythtv

This bug is for allowing the user to shutdown PC/myth from their remote and within mythtv.

For a long time the planned solution was with sudo, but using dbus magic instead makes this a lot more functional. There is no chance for regression since shutdown doesn't work right now.

Also, regular (mythtv) users don't have the permission to shut down the box in mythfrontend. This likely only applies to remote frontends, a combined FE/BE box is not meant to be shut down.

It should be possible to shut down the computer from mythfrontend. Maybe make it configurable so other users on the same system are not interrupted if someone "turns off the TV".

debdiff Edit (6.7 KiB, text/plain)

Attached is laga's debdfiff to fix this bug. It needs approval from motu-release however.

This bug was fixed in the package mythtv - 0.21.0+fixes16838-0ubuntu3

---------------
mythtv (0.21.0+fixes16838-0ubuntu3) hardy; urgency=low

  [ Michael Haas ]
  * mythtv-common: add myth-reboot.sh, myth-halt.sh, myth-suspend.sh and
    myth-hibernate.sh into /usr/share/mythtv/. These scripts use HAL to shutdown/reboot/etc
  * Add 16_hal_shutdown.dpatch to adjust some defaults in mythtv to use the
    new scripts. (LP: #148281)

  [ Mario Limonciello ]
  * Don't spawn gnome-screensaver in ubuntu-mythtv-frontend.
    It doesn't work. ubuntu-mythtv-frontend is going away in Intrepid
    but not this late in the game here. (LP: #216431)
  * Don't depend on a screensaver for u-m-f, since it's broke.
  * Prevent warnings on first boot about updating the mythconverg DB, by providing
    the updated mythconverg db.
