I have been trying to get a machine with both backend and frontend to work properly.
The backend appears to be OK following help in another thread.
This is Mythtv 31 running on Linux Mint 20.3.
Trying to start the frontend from a terminal: (/usr/bin/mythfrontend)
brought some useful lines:
Using configuration directory = /home/alan/.mythtv (/config.xml) which has:
<Host>localhost</Host>
Start up testing connections. DB localhost, BE 127.0.0.1, attempt 2, status beAwake, Delay: 2000
Start up failure. host localhost, status beAwakeFail
MythSocket(7fab3800f030:-1): Failed to connect to (127.0.0.1:6543) Connection refused
Frontend will not start

Re: Frontend will not start
Take MythTV out of the picture, do: mysql --user=mythtv --host=localhost --password=Yourconfig.xmlPassword mythconverg
Be sure the config.xml file for user mythtv and yourself are identical.

[SOLVED] Frontend will not start
I now have a fully working system and have restored as backup of my recordings.
The problem seems to have been caused by a corruption that affected another program too.
Once I had deleted the database with #rm -R /var/lib/mysql* and started again it was easy.
Thank you to those that struggled to help me without a full picture of what was happening.
