In the past I’ve always started with Mythbuntu to build a mythtv
systems. Today I started with a fresh install of Xubuntu 16.04.3
and added the repositories for mythtv per the wiki.

<div class="">The first time I ran the mythtv backend setup I got
into that loop on the pick language screen that I’ve seen so
many times. I’ll figure it out, but I would think a fresh

box. </div>

<div class="">Is there a blog somewhere where someone has figured
it out and documented it in details. I’m looking for something

The problem I have found is that on first run of mythtv-setup it
uses a default password for the mythconverg database of 'mythtv',
which is not what was setup when mythtv-backend was installed, which
sets a random 8 character alpha-numeric in /etc/mythtv/config.xml. <br>
<br>
I usually do the following before running mythtv-setup for the first
time:<br>
<span style="color: rgb(37, 37, 37); font-family: monospace,
Courier; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal;
font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal;
font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align:
start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space:
normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width:
0px; background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249); text-decoration-style:
initial; text-decoration-color: initial; display: inline
!important; float: none;"> mkdir -p ~/.mythtv<br>
ln -s /etc/mythtv/config.xml ~/.mythtv/config.xml<br>
