I'll add to that that XFCE is fine as a desktop, but JYA is correct in
that we don't ship everything in Mythbuntu. You can install the
correct bits on a Mythbuntu install or install MythTV on a Xubuntu or
Ubuntu (or any other flavor) install. I didn't see the other thread,
so I'm not sure what issues OP was having.
