For some reason (incorrect installation, tinkering, etc) your frontend
system is trying to connect to the wrong database. The MythTV database
is usually called 'mythconverg' whereas your log output shows your
system trying to connect to 'mysql'.
You should have a ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt file (where ~ is the home
directory for your frontend user) - open it in a text editor and edit
the line:
DBName=mysql
to
DBName=mythconverg
Save the file, and then restart the frontend.
