>> MythTv may be an appliance to you, but to me it is an application that I use to watch LiveTV and record programming. When I am not watching LiveTv or recordings, I use a web browser to access Internet sites such as YouTube, Netflix, Hulu Plus, etc., read email, play music, watch DVD's, and other such things that utilize audio.<br>

<p dir="ltr">I am not complaining. As I stated before, all I wanted to do was get MythTv running under Ubuntu 14.04, like I have in past versions of Ubuntu and MythTv. When I ran into trouble installing MythTv, under Ubuntu 14.04, I came to this forum and was advised to install Mythbuntu and then configure the Desktop the way I wanted. This is the first time I heard that Mythbuntu was not designed to have a Desktop that functions like the one in Ubuntu. There is even a setting, in the Applications menu, that let me install Ubuntu Desktop.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I just assumed that the Mythbuntu 14.04 iso file I downloaded and installed was just Ubuntu with MythTv added. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I never heard of XFCE before installing Mythbuntu, so I did not know it had limitations that Unity and Gnome did not.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I am just trying to learn here, not stir up resentment.</p>
