Reinstalling mysql 5.0 has solved the problem. After that the mythtv packets install behaved and I can log into mysql with user root and without password. Just as a suggestion, maybe the password could be prompted if the login to mysql doesn't work without a password.
Sorry for the inconvenience. And no, Xubuntu does not have update-notifier installed by default (installing it right away). -- myth-tv failed to upgrade properly on distribution upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/126781 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
