I was looking for a way to auto start Synergy when my Ubuntu boxes started up.  I came across this article over EightPence.  It works perfectly.

I have used this setup a few times in the past with out any issues at all.  Though the other day I reinstalled and have been getting the following error when starting the backend/retriviing channel line ups.

Session management error: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specifiedare supportedhost-based authentication failed

and After searching around for a few I came across one fix which led me to another fix.  The problem is that MythTV was attempting to run as the Mythtv user, thats fine and dandy but I run mine as my user instead.  So you have to change two files and the problems will be fixed.  Here are the two files that need to be changed.

/etc/init.d/mythtv-backend
/etc/cron.daily/mythtv-backend

In those files you will see a spot right at the top where it is trying to run as the mythtv user,  just replace mythtv with your name and then you should be all set.

Well after a short time of trying to get AAC to work in Quod Libet I got it.  Since Quod Libet uses GStreamer to decode stuff etc just run this and it SHOULD make it work for you under Edgy Eft.
