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 install on a freshly built Xubuntu system would work out of the 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 like my blog that I did for Mythbuntu 16.04 install.

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.

I usually do the following before running mythtv-setup for the first time:<br class="">

That worked. I did a fresh Xubuntu install and added the repository, the mythtv package, and mythbuntu control center. I did your ln command after I updated the software and rebooted. When I ran mythtv backend setup, it worked.</div>
