This has fixed it for me. thank you for your help. I have tried it >10 times, and not seen the issue.
On some boots, the task bar can been seen with the front end loaded but with no menu or clock. In this state for 5 seconds. Then once the menu and clock appears, the screen is redrawn and the task bar disappears. For completeness here is what I am running now: ii libmythtv-perl 2:0.27.4+fixes.20150305.f1115fc-0ubuntu0mythbuntu3 all A PERL library to access some MythTV features ii mythtv-common 2:0.27.4+fixes.20150305.f1115fc-0ubuntu0mythbuntu3 i386 Personal video recorder application (common data) ii mythtv-dbg 2:0.27.4+fixes.20150305.f1115fc-0ubuntu0mythbuntu3 i386 Debug symbols for mythtv packages ii mythtv-frontend 2:0.27.4+fixes.20150305.f1115fc-0ubuntu0mythbuntu3 i386 Personal video recorder application (client) ii mythtv-theme-mythbuntu 2:0.27.4+fixes.20150305.f1115fc-0ubuntu0mythbuntu3 all The mythbuntu MythTV Theme ii mythtv-transcode-utils 2:0.27.4+fixes.20150305.f1115fc-0ubuntu0mythbuntu3 i386 Utilities used for transcoding MythTV tasks ii php-mythtv 2:0.27.4+fixes.20150305.f1115fc-0ubuntu0mythbuntu3 all PHP Bindings for MythTV On a related but side note: After this testing, it has highlighted another issue I was having, regarding not connecting to the database. I think this is timing issue (tbc) pinging before network up, so the sleep has been added back in, but now increased to 5 seconds.
