This is a regression. You had fixed this before by adding a
<br>
proper /home/mythuser/.mythtv file.
<br>
<br>
You said that another (laptop) frontend worked OK. Just copy
<br>
the config.xml file from that host to this one.

Thanks for all your help, Bill. I figured nothing to lose to purge
and reinstall, and indeed that did fix it. <br>
maybe it was that I edited it config.xml using sudo and could not be
accessed. It might have been I could have copied it over from
another working frontend.<br>
<br>
Now several more problems to tackle, this has not been a smooth
upgrade.<br>
<br>
For the record, the working config.xml:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:mythuser@mythuser-ZBOX-ID84:~/.mythtv$">mythuser@mythuser-ZBOX-ID84:~/.mythtv$</a> cat config.xml<br>
