In that case, perhaps the mythtv install should have requested the existing mysql root password. regards clary -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/730437 Title: mythtv password is encrypted, in /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt, but mysql server wants a clear password -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
