I was able to download and partially install 0.28 although when I got to the point where one is instructed to log out and log back the progression halted. In my many iterations of loading Myth, at this point I have learned to go to /etc/mythtv/config.sys and access the password. Clicking the back end icon usually takes you into the routine for entering the password although a message "Please manually log out of your session for the changes to take effect." appears in this case and, in effect, becomes a loop. <br></span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1539261541414_3900"><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1539261541414_2984"><br></span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1539261541414_4227"><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1539261541414_2984">I'm not sure what to do at this point and I welcome suggestions. <br></span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1539261541414_4228"><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1539261541414_2984"><br></span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1539261541414_4294"><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1539261541414_2984">I gotta ask, is mjbloke a take off on the UK term for guy?
