Ok, I installed mythbuntu 9.04 on a separate partition. After checking that the problem still exists, I added the ppa mythtv repository and updated all packages that were available for updating.
However, now neither mythtv-setup or mythfrontend will not start anymore: 2009-09-01 23:21:56.201 Loading base theme from /usr/share/mythtv/themes/Mythbuntu-8.04/base.xml 2009-09-01 23:21:56.908 Loading base theme from /usr/share/mythtv/themes/default/base.xml 2009-09-01 23:21:56.985 Unable to load window 'mainmenu' from menu-ui.xml 2009-09-01 23:21:56.985 Couldn't find mainmenu.xml for theme 'blue' 2009-09-01 23:21:56.986 Deleting UPnP client...
