[mythtv-users] frontend reinstall

I recently reinstalled the Ubuntu and Myth on a frontend/slave backend
system I use.  Now things are strange.  First of all, all of the settings
for the former backend were already set when I first went to set it up.  The
partition that held the previous install was deleted.  How did the previous
settings from the previous install make it into the new install?  Is this
data stored on the backend somehow?  I can successfully test my connection
to the database in mythbuntu control centre, but once myth launches, I
cannot view recordings or videos (mythvideo is the only plungin I have
installed).  When I try to view recordings, it seems to hang indefinitely,
and when I try to view videos, it seems to try for a while before giving
up.  I tried removing the backend (my removing it as a system role in
mythbuntu control centre) and I had the same performance with the frontend.
Below is the output I saw when running mythfrontend from the command line:
