Public bug reported:
Version: mythtv 2:2.0.26+fixes.20121118.340ubuntu1
Ubuntu 13.04 64-bit: AMD Phenom II x6 1090T
I am attempting to configure MythTV backend for use with XBMC. I
presume that clicking the MythTV icon for the backend will produce the
backend setup GUI. It does not because of a password glitch.
A valid password is rejected when attempting to enter MythTV backend setup:
clicking the myth TV icon displays a notice that the backend processes must
first be closed and requests user assent. Selecting YES displays the
prolematic dialog.
The dialog asks for "current login password," presumably the current linux
user's password. However, using the logged-in system administrator password
results in the message "Incorrect password... try again." The same result is
achieved by using the current user's mythtv MySQL password or the mythtv MySQL
password (85ctLXIf). These passwords have all been verified using the MySQL
Workbench, which indicates that the connection parameters are correct.
Attempting to bypass the dialog by selecting cancel displays the MythTV Setup
Terminal, not the familiar GUI.
There is no way to access the backend setup.
This bug was submitted to MythTV [ Ticket #11696 ], which responded:
"This sounds like a Mythbuntu or Ubuntu issue. MythTV itself does not ask
for login passwords. Please ask the Mythbuntu/Ubuntu team for help."
Help! And many thanks for any assistance.
