Well, that explains why it was working fine for me. I tried this as
root, without thinking it's different for a regular user. Tried it by
logging in
as mythtv and sure enough, it's not set. Changed the setting in
~/mythtv/.bash_profile, logged out and logged back in, and all is
well.
Although, any time I'd need the version of the kernel, I'd be root
anyway. I'll just leave it in /root/.bash_profile and that should be
fine. MythTV will probably never need to know the kernel version.
