Is there a reason why I should expect that installing the same<br>
version of Mythbuntu (12.04 and promptly upgrading Myth to<br>
27.4)<br>
from the same USB stick onto two different machines would<br>
product<br>
a different selection of available themes in Setup -><br>
Theme Chooser?<br>
<br>
On one machine, a Zotac ID36, I get what is apparently the<br>
full<br>
catalog of themes, including MythCenter, MythCenter-Wide,<br>
Arclight, Mythbuntu, Terra and several others. On the other<br>
machine, a Zotac AD03, I get Mythbuntu, MythCenter,<br>
Mythcenter-Wide and Terra, none of the others. I can<br>
re-install on<br>
the AD03 and get exactly the same result so it shouldn't be a<br>
matter of a botched install. Is there something in the install<br>
process that prevents certain themes from being installed on<br>
certain hardware?<br>
<br>
Incidentally, prior to upgrading the MythTV from 0.25 to<br>
0.27 all<br>
front ends presented the same themes in Theme Chooser.<br>
<br>
<br>
It is probably a permission issue. Make sure that the<br>
~/.mythtv directory (and all of it sub-directories) are<br>
writable by whatever user(s) is running mythbackend and<br>
mythfrontend.<br>

***<br>
Different themes can have different permissions?<br>
<br>
<br>
MythCenter, Mythcenter-Wide and Terra ship with myth by default. Since you are running Mythbuntu, I am guessing that is being included by default as well. All other themes are downloaded "on demand". I am guessing that myth does not have permission to download the requested themes to the directories it wants to download them to.<br>
<br>
Assuming your myth user is 'mythtv', try something like:<br>
<br>
$ sudo chown -R mythtv:mythtv /home/mythtv<br>
$ sudo chmod -R ug+rwX /home/mythtv<br>
<br>
and see if that fixes the problem.<br>
