Best guess is that you either a) upgraded to 0.27-fixes on the Mythbuntu 
system and it still has old stuff loaded and just needs a reboot or b) 
you have multiple versions of MythTV installed on that system (i.e. in 
/usr and /usr/local) and the script that's starting mythfrontend is 
starting the wrong one.
