I too am running Ubuntu with mythtv packages installed on top, from the mythbuntu ppa, rather than installing from the mythbuntu ISO. I don't have mythbuntu-desktop installed, but do have mythbuntu-common, mythbuntu-bare-client and mythbuntu-control-center installed. I may have run mythbuntu-control-center in the past, but not for years.<br class="">
<br class="">
Of the cron entries you list, I have just:<br class="">
/etc/cron.daily/mythexport<br class="">
/etc/cron.weekly/mythtv-database <br class="">
in my system. Using "dpkg -S" on the filenames, I see that /etc/cron.daily/mythexport comes from the mythexport package and /etc/cron.weekly/mythtv-database comes from the mythtv-database package. I suspect the people who have /etc/cron.daily/mythtv-database instead have manually moved the file from weekly to daily to make it occur more often.<br class="">
<br class="">
If you don't have the cron entries but do have the mythexport and mythtv-database packages installed, I'm guessing the files were manually deleted. If so, there is probably a proper way to reinstall or reconfigure the packages to bring the cron files back, but I don't know how to do that.<br class="">
